Cayenne S vs. X5 4.6
Only problem it is in German. But from charts and video you can understand.

I have a 4.6is, but have driven numerous Cayenne Turbos and Ss as my dealer seems hell bent on me getting one. I have not been able to give up the BMW. It handles much better than the Cayenne. Perhaps the new Cayenne might be better.

I test drove an X3 and thought it was nice, really like a go-kart. However the finish and materials were thoroughly sub-par. The new X5 looks interesting but looks too much like the earlier models.

I have had an '03 X5 4.6 since July '04. I also now have an '06 Cayenne TTS and I feel the X5 most certainly handles better. It is much more tossable than the CTTS. It weighs much less and feels like it has much more grip. Power obviously is not a question with almost 200hp more than the X5. Going into corners the CTTS on the sport setting which is how I always drive it, has more body roll and exudes gives less confidence. I am still getting used to it but the weight of it seems to really hinder its prowess.
