This again shows the B58 to be great engine since it's driving greater weight with higher fuel efficiency. The Cayenne will have advantage in handling and (IMO) styling, but at SIGNIFICANT price premium. I debated these two for months...bought the X5 & really pleased with my decision. As is my IRA.
Hopefully we'll see a combined X5/GLE/Q7/Cayenne comparison.
Neither will be as trouble free as a Lexus, but I couldn't see myself driving the automotive equivalent of a large-mouthed bass.
Absolutely.

Even my wife commented, after just a short drive, how much more direct the steering was compared to her GLE, and also how much flatter it cornered.

If she could tell the difference after just started driving, it says a lot.
