If you think a Cayenne is badge engineered, you should leave car forums and not come back.
Ok, instead of making fun of you, I’m going to assume you don’t know the difference between badge engineering vs. platform sharing and will try to help guide you a bit.
Badge engineering, which is what GM does, is change the grill and a few bits on one car and sell it under another brand. Drive both back to back and you won’t know which is which.
Platform sharing is using the same basic underlying structure or ‘hard points’ - a pillar, engine mount location, etc - to create different vehicles. Even the wheelbase varies. Yes, the diesel in the Porsche is an Audi unit and it fits in the Cayenne because they both share the same basic platform. Go drive a Touareg, Q7 and Cayenne back to back and you’ll understand that they all three drive very differently.
Here’s a quick video explaining this:

^^ by your logic, a RR Ghost is just a fancier 7 series?

OK thanks by!
Q7Huh they are far from badge engineered. Yes the platform is the same as on other vag products and electrical but that's about it.
They aren't slapping a Porsche Badge on a Q5 and calling it a Porsche. ex Cavalier and Caddy Cimmaron
Yeah, because the base model with the Volkwagen 3.6L VR6 engine was straight from Stuttgart... The diesel version was probably pure Porsche in your opinion too?
Both the Cayenne and Touareg shared the same platform and were released at the same time. VWAG figured they could get some more money out of that platform investment by releasing an Audi version.
Sorry for being factual.
Chevy Tahoe vs GMC Yukon vs Cadillac Escalade. Not that different of an idea. Shared platforms with the fancy badge version getting a premium powerplant and nicer appointment.
VW throws all the parts on that platform ,while Porsche is like...hmm...this battery should be here for a better balancing. Just an example...! So parts are strategically placed to get as close possible to a 50-50 distribution.
