I remember this thread from the last forum, glad you brought it back. That's nice, does it look better in the flesh so to speak? Have you had it long enough to compare against the old E70?

I thought you decided against it in the end? Must have missed the "in between" bit ...

Looks great though, fancy dropping by and show it to me? Always good to check the alternatives ...

Ok so I bought this instead !

Ha ha this is the old man of my track day buddy with the green GT3 RS etc (talking of which, which trip pics did I put up last? Did I put the Lemans track day up? Abbeville?)

Back to the Cayenne

Yes it is still butt ugly (although a little softer around the back) but the interior is so much nicer and one of the nicest I have seen

The drive of the thing is a lot better than the X5 in many ways - much better handling and the ride was a lot better even on the 20s of this car that I had for a couple of days.

The big but though is the price to get it to the spec that I would want V8 with the same options as the X5 (+ couple of others) it would cost £70k and I would struggle with that when I couldn't actually look at the thing.

Very good car otherwise though

Quality interior - though accept your dilema re not loving, (not in a literal & physical sense ;) ) ,the exterior.
