4.2L TDI V8, 8 speed transmission.

That's gotta throw a spanner in the works for potential M50d owners?

Driven the Cayenne, does not handle anywhere near as well as the X5, and I doubt it will have 750nm of torque, plus the a.re falls out of the secondhand price on the Cayenne, they don't sell enough of them in Australia, and insurance is high.

Likewise and I agree that it doesn't have the same handling as the X5 however your wrong about the torque figures. It is reported to be 100nm more than the M50d ->Porsche Cayenne S V8 Diesel Launched In Australia | Reviews | Prices | Australian specifications

I've always established that they (diesel ones anyway) re-sell very well!

None the less, now that I live 4.5 Km's from the office and don't really need to tow much I don't need diesel anymore. XM is next
