Hell no, ive read countless quality/reliability issues with Cayenne, Touregs, X5's, Range Rovers and Mercedes ML's. If i had to chose a Luxury SUV, id get GX or a LX, yea they arent sporty but for me safe/dependable comes first. If you get any of those German makes you better have some long extended warranty to go with that unless you got some deep pockets.
as a long time Porsche afficionado, ive always given the same advice that you mentioned.
BUT, the Porsche driving experience is priceless
, and ultimately addicting despite all the issues (which can be between $ - to $$$$$).....that extra descretionary income is what counts most.

Ill disagree with the Audi...I leased an S4 in 06 and beat the **** out of it and it had -0- rattles and only went in for the "free" oil changes and routine service that they charged you for 
If there was one thing I didnt like on the Audi it was the audio system and Navi but they have stepped it up the past few years. I regret trading it in for the Lexus. I never had one issue with any BMW I leased in the past either. Both my Lexus have been sub-par IMO with the rattles and various issues. Not sure if I will get another Lexus after the GS.

Not sure if I will get another Lexus after the GS.I have generally found that the statistics in general show that Lexus is ahead, but in grand scheme of things the difference is small. In general when people talk about having terrible experiences, it is often just that the person was unlucky.
Based on my experience with my last BMW, nobody would buy that brand. But it can't have been normal.

Porsche C is crap. also ugly, imo. New model is hell of an improvement and looks great.
RR Sport reliability is beyond crap.
X5 = built in USA. enuff said.
ML = same as X5.
GX470 = reliable, dirt cheap maintenance, 3 years I've owned this never had a problem except for driveshaft TSB and replaced trasnfer case under warranty.
I never had a problem with my Audi S4(B7). Ok that's a lie...I had to get few coil packs replaced under warranty but same story with M3. Other than that, S4 was solid.
