If you want a sporty road SUV that also does well in dirt and snow, the Range Rover Sport is a much better car in my opinion - in every regard.
The brand new 2011 Cayenne is an improvement though.

Why not the X5 or X6? If you want power you can get the X5 or X6 and the new turbocharged N55 engine can be tuned +100BHP with aftermarket tunes. Great SUV's.
If reliability is a concern don't get RR or Porsche...BMW is better compared to those two. Also check out the FX by Infiniti and maybe look at the Lexus RX/GX?

yeah an X5 is a better all around vehicle and fun to drive in the snow, although I don't recommend you do that safety first. Porsche Cayenne us not a bad truck just wasn't built right the first time the second one they def. got it right.

. Will look into it. Mercedes trucks are reliable but pretty bland much like Lexus.... unless of course you get the AMG versions such as ML63 AMG. If I was considering "fast" truck like the ML63 AMG I would get the X5M or the X6M.
Another two SUVs I forgot that you might be interested in are the Audi Q5 and the Audi Q7. Don't know much about them but did consider a new Q5 when we got the RX350 but Audi's reliability scares me :eek:.

Good thing is you wont see soccer moms driving 5 kids around in that porsche like you will the others. A lot more exclusive. That kid down the street that likes cars will think you are the man!!! I even like their four door sedan. A little pricey though but if you are looking at one then you can probably afford it unlike me!

News to me..most of the people I know with the Range Rovers are always crying about it being in the shop . Will look into it.

My brother's 06 Range Rover Sport supercharged has only needed routine service and brakes since new. That's a lot less hassle than my 08 Lexus.

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.

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.
