My favorite topic, porsche bashing much to bcrdukes dismay.

I struggle to see the value proposition of the cayenne compared to the X5. Interior room is smaller, you get a shitty VW V6 unless you splurge for the V8, you have to pay for options to get to the standard equipment of the X5 with the A+ B58 inline 6. And more expensive in price and service cost.

“But it handles better, like a porsche!” It’s an SUV not a track car.
“It’s quality german engineering” it’s made in slovakia former USSR state comrade (Yes im aware the X5 is made by bob in south carolina)

Either you buy the cayenne for the porsche badge snobbery or to get an GT3 allocation.
