Well first of all, you are asking a biased group. My brother-in-law has the new Cayenne S. I have driven it several times, and find that it feels very heavy. It has more of a luxury type of ride where as my 4.4 has a sporty feel to it. Even when he drives mine, he always comments on how responsive it is. The 4.4 is neck to neck with the Cayenne S, which needs almost 40hp more to pull it's weight! Not to mention it's heavier on gas too. The 4.8is would be a hands down choice...no comparison in my opinion.

Although I never test drove the Cayenne, as a 4.8is owner I can safely say I am very satisfied and have no desire to check out the Cayenne. I don't care much for its looks.

For what it's worth, I have been driving BMWs since 1993 and have owned 8 of them in that time. Every time I go to purchase a new car I drive every competitor vehicle and so far obviously I have always returned to the roundel... In my opinion you simply cannot beat the driving experience of a BMW...

I don't think you can compare the Cayenne s with the 4.8, the 4.4 would be a better comparison. Both car are great, if you spend most of your time on the road, the bmw is a better choice, if you do medium to heavy off road, then go cayenne. I would say that one thing i very much dislike with the cayenne, are the ridiculous amount of options, packages and extras that really bring the price so much higher. also the gas milage is really bad.
