Let us know how your test drive of the Cayenne goes!
The only listed cayenne diesel they had listed got sold a few hours before I got there...bummer. But they had another one from customer order and let me turn on the engine only. From both outside and inside, you can't tell it's a diesel, amazing.
I had a ride in the hybrid instead (with sucks BTW, I would never get that).
Cabin space is smaller than X5, more like an X3. I like my X5 larger roomy interior and trunk space...
Outside I still prefer the aggressive look of my X5. The Cayenne definitely needs these 21" rims to look good... So did my X5 after replacing the stock 18" rims with a 20" staggered custom setup...
But then... the Cayenne's dashboard...damn... it's like a space ship! So much advanced compared to the simple instrumentation of X5.... Gauges, small LCD next to the tach, buttons everywhere... I love it...so did my wife...
I definitely will get one in next few months to replace the wife's thirsty Q7! Price tag with decent options is high... ouch...
But for myself I still like my X5... having one of each will be the best of both worlds.
