I've never liked the shape of Cayenne ..but the new rounded off shape is starting to lure me (at least I'd take a look, whereas previously we'd just walk straight past the dealership - with a backwards glance at the GT2 of-course)

I'm thinking of 50i at end of year as my new 35d is a bit laggy IMHO .... and it just doesnt feel like 580Nm to me - sorry guys. I think the extra kw and twin turbo on V8 will be a ripper - and I dont care about fuel economy as I travel less the 7k per year..

I took a 4.8 out and it just didnt feel right without turbo pull ..so went with 35d ... will be interesting to see what pricing will look like with 2011 models ..and what BMW Aus are willing to throw in as standard now ..esp given Audi is nipping at their heels ...
putting price aside, X5M suites you more? much better value than the turbo V8 Cayenne?

My x5 is still at the repair shop and now driving a 10yrs old camry, man, even that reminds me how smooth a petrol engine is compared with oil burners

keen to test drive the petrol hybrid Cayenne or Touareg. cost a large premium to get hybrid or diesel for reduction of fuel consumption, funny overall money saving wise it doesn't work out that way, more just for a peace of mind for an everyday driving
