It would seem that some of the rumors surrounding the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cajun">Porsche Cajun</a> were greatly exaggerated. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/porsche">Porsche</a> CEO <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/matthias%20mueller">Matth ias M&uuml;ller</a> has announced that his company won't be producing a new small SUV based off of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/15">Audi Q5</a> in China or anywhere else, for that matter. M&uuml;ller said that while the future may force his company to consider moving production of one or more models overseas, right now the automaker will stick to cranking out vehicles in Germany. Previously, Porsche had said that it was taking some time to consider a new manufacturing facility in China - one of the fastest growing car markets on the planet.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, Porsche hasn't said that the Cajun is dead all together. M&uuml;ller simply made it clear that the vehicle wouldn't be based on any bones currently bumping around the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/volkswagen">Volkswagen</a> family tree. The vehicle is intended to land just below the current <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/cayenne">Cayenne</a> and allow younger buyers to jump into the exclusive Porsche brand at a more accessible price point. Early reports have the Cajun landing in show rooms no sooner than 2014.<br />
