Porsche Pajun...Cayenne Junior?

When Porsche confirmed that it's going to indeed build a small SUV by the title of Cajun, it as being a pretty logical move on the Stuttgart automaker’s component due to the huge success of the Porsche Cayenne SUV.

Building around the success of the Porsch Panamera sedan, it is now reported that Porsche can be working on a small sedan that will contend with the likes of your BMW 5-Series and also the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

The project is currently codenamed Porsche Pajun, for Panamera Junior (no in which doesn’t mean Cajun stands for Red pepper Junior – Cajun and Cayenne are both spices). This Porsche Pajun sedan is predicted to carry over the engine lineup from the actual Panamera so you can get a gasoline, diesel in addition to hybrid version.

When will any of us see the Porsche Pajun on the highways? Well, nothing is established as of yet, though the folks at AutoBild say sometime around 2016 which has a starting price tag involving €60,000 ($84,630 USD).
