We have had Cayennes and can tell you that they are not worth the price and we all know that Porsche does not compete on price. Their tech is not on a par with BMW.
Many, many, things that are standard in a BMWs are painfully expensive options on a Porsche.
A reasonably equiped Cayenne S coupe will run you about 130K which is way out of the range of a base X5 or M60i.
Also keep in mind that the large displays running across the dash board are now industry standard in 90% of vehicles and the days of new car interiors with 75 buttons/switches have came and are now gone whether the old timers like it or not.
