I hope that this version of the diesel is superior ( which it definitely is with regard to smoothness and efficiency) and coupled to the 8 speed, it provides an unbeatable combination. Oh, and it appears so far that on the 2 cars I drove, the price offered ( after a bit of discussion) was a bit over 7% off MSRP. RFQ's on 2 built cars for ordering were at just about 5% off MSRP which I believe can be bettered. Looks like I may order an F15 diesel with DHP and a bunch of other options.
DHP the new term for Adaptive Drive, yes? Nice analysis and good choice.

When I evaluated the Cayenne, I just couldnt shake the feeling that I was being played for a chump. Harsh words, but it just felt like 'the biggest feature of this car is letting people know you can afford this car'. For the $ the features and performance wasnt there.

You've got a world of options to find a dealer willing to deal- Sponsors, PCDs, days' drive, etc. Line up your incentives and go for it! or... plan on a 2016 in October. Just 20k miles down the road Feeling lucky?
