The Porsche, IMO, is just hideously overpriced and represents a very poor value. While I own one (a 911 not a Cayenne) and love the marque everything- and I mean everything- is optional at an extra cost. If you want poor reliability why not get the Toureag and save thousands? You can buy the Porsche logo and stick it on for less than $20.

On the other hand, unlike BMW, Porsche can apparently supply the options it advertises.

Yeah Porsche options you to death. A fully optioned Cayenne S is much more $ than an X5. You can probably add $25000 in options if you wanted to. I'm a Porsche guy but when it comes to SUV's I think they missed the mark unless you want a high performance off road capable machine, then maybe. However when it comes to high performance sports cars it's a different story.
