 NOVA - you have no credibility without driving all the SUV's you're referring to, sorry. But thanks for that unbiased ranking of SUV's - I'll look for your article in Automobile soon.

I personally think you have to go with the GTS or higher as far as the Cayenne goes. The base model and the S are just flat out ugly, IMO. I feel the same with MB. Except for the ML 63, none of the ML's do anything for me. The X5 is far better looking and would be more fun to drive compared to the equivalent Porsce or MB, IMO. Unfortunately, the 4.8i is a little underpowered when you get into the realm of the ML 63 and higher end peppers. I guess it will be different when the M versions of the X5 comes out, not to mention the X6. I would bet the playing field will be somewhat leveled then.
Also, Audi doesn't make anything that really competes with the X5 right now and far as looks and driving dynamics are concerned. Infinity is even further down the list. They are a second tier manufacturer compared to BMW, Porsche and MB, IMO. I don't care how fast the FX is. Last edited by FSETH; 02-26-2009 at 05:41 PM.

Cargo E70 BMW X5 has 75 cubic feet of cargo capacity Cayenne has 62.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity Seating E70 BMW X5 has 60" of front shoulder room Cayenne has 58.5" The pepper may have been bigger than the E53 variant, but not currently. IMO, power & top speed are basically measuring the same thing (or mfg's limiters). Given that, BMW wins 6 of 10 criteria. BMW still wins - price dependent.  p.s. What about Safety as a criteria? BMW=winner?

Even this is a BMW X5 forum and I am a BMW fan, I would still go with the Cayenne GTS. Sometimes we have to accept reality that X5 is not any superior to SUVs in the same league. E70 or W164, W164 all the way.
