Saw these articles about today’s announcement of Porsche wanting to move production of all Cayennes back to Leipzig. There is no timescale and the German labour force needs to agree a cut in pay for it to happen. VW are looking to shed 100,000 jobs.

Sorry for a dumb question but I can’t find any videos showing this - Do you have to remove the cup holders to store bits and pieces in the central console or is there much room beneath the cup holders when they are in the higher setting
