# Online Car Defamations Porsche SUV Traveler By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-03-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-suv-traveler References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/15/rendered-ruminations-porsche-traveller-concept-slaps-stuttgart/) This [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-mission-s-concept) mock-up of the SUV Traveler is getting slammed in blogs and tech websites left and right. Well, I'm exaggerating a little bit. I have only seen this car in about three websites. But invariably the reception has been downright hostile. "Perhaps it was, 'Let's make a car shaped like a brick, where it is impossible to see either directly in front or behind the car. Simply put, we want to make the must-have for the billionaire who doesn't mind running over small children or animals,'" Autoblog said. Asylum meanwhile wrote an article about the mock-up entitled, "Ugliest. Porsche. Ever." Historically, from an aesthetic point of view, [Porsche cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/911-gt3-90-f-a-porsche) have been known for their elegance and their beauty. So I'd have to agree with the haters and naysayers that this mock up is, if not a crime against humanity, an ugly abomination that should be buried somewhere and never, ever be mentioned again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Online Car Defamations:** Opportunities for online reputation management services to help car companies combat negative reviews and perceptions. - **Porsche SUV Traveler:** Potential for car manufacturers to design and create innovative SUV models that balance aesthetics and functionality. - **Hostile Reception:** Demand for market research and consumer insights to better understand customer preferences and adapt car designs accordingly. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Opportunity for automotive companies to invest in design innovation and customer-centric approaches to improve brand perception. - **Reputation Management:** Growing need for reputation management services to help companies monitor and respond to online criticism and negative feedback. - **Market Research:** Rising demand for market research and data analysis services to gather insights on consumer preferences and anticipate market trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family-Friendly Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-mission-s-concept.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-928.md) - [Branded Automotive Countryside Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-rooftop-camper-experience.md) - [Electric Luxe Concept Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mission-x.md) - [High-End Automotive Luggage Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-design-roadster-aluminum-collection.md) - [Luxury Swan Art Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-swan-art-car.md) - [Lounge-Like Interior Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-amenoi-concept.md) - [Exploded Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera.md) - [Sleek Reimagined Racing Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-99x.md)
