#36 of 63 Re: Cant Decide between the new X5 or Cayenne...Help! [tmhw1] by kpeters Jul 21, 2007 (7:51 am)
Replying to: tmhw1 (Jul 21, 2007 2:38 am) hi there thanks for the response, so you got about $6,000 off? thats great! My dealer will barely give me 2k off! Do you know what the invoice is on these? The one im looking at MSRP is 61k.   I too am concerned about no bluetooth and iPOD how did you work around this?   You dont think the Cayenne looks femanine? I love the looks of it! Much nicer than the x5 in term of looks!   thanks K Replies to this message: tmhw1 (Jul 21, 2007 9:00 am) kpeters (Jul 21, 2007 9:44 am) tmhw1 (Jul 22, 2007 6:09 pm) anon3 (Jul 30, 2007 1:10 pm) kpeters (Jul 30, 2007 1:24 pm) kpeters (Aug 03, 2007 7:27 am)

Replying to: kpeters (Jul 21, 2007 7:51 am) Yes, I got around $5500 for MSRP of $57K, that depends on options. Some they can get deeper discount but some can't. I did it via the internet department and I don't really need to bargain hard to get this price. The sale person said that he sells cars all over the west coast. You can search for the dealership in San Jose, CA.   Yes, the look is a little bit femanine but my wife loves it and I'm think it is refreshing and does look like the other SUVs.   For iPod and bluetooth, I did a lot of research and there are a few solution, one is the Dension Gateway 500, right now there are still a few bugs and I'm going to wait a bit till they get a new firmware to decide whether to get it or not. I'm also looking into a small company mobridge inc, they have some success with Porsche dealership in Australia and they are coming to America, they will have it here in 4-6 weeks time. It looks it has better functions than dension.

Replying to: tmhw1 (Jul 21, 2007 9:00 am) thanks,   Yeah I agree they look different, but it will be for me, so I am not sure due to its feminine looks.. do you thin kthe x5 is more masculine?? However, it is a porsche afterall, mostly a guys car.. Replies to this message: tmhw1 (Jul 22, 2007 6:09 pm)

I am facing the same dilemma as well. I like the styling of the X5 3.0si over the Porsche Cayenne V6 but I find the Porsche to be quicker. Now the perfect solution will be BMW putting the twin turbo in the X5 as 08 model, but I have my doubts. Replies to this message: kpeters (Jul 22, 2007 9:27 pm)

Replying to: kpeters (Jul 21, 2007 9:44 am) I agree with you that the X5 looks more masculine, but I think the Cayenne not bad at all. After owning it for a week, I like it more and more everyday. I don't care what other people think but everything I look at it, it reminds me that I'm driving a Porsche.   I just came back from a weekend escape to the country side with four adults. There are times I wish I had the Cayenne S, but once I put it in S mode the thought disappear.

Replying to: achonko (Jul 22, 2007 12:49 pm) yeah its a tough choice. I like the styling of the Porsche better however. BMW is nice, but they added too much pastic around the bumpers, wheels and windows, whereas the Porsche has lots o f metal. I thin the porsch is more fun to drive for sure! My only concern now is if the Cayanne looks too fememine for me?

Replying to: arig (Jul 23, 2007 12:42 am) hi there, i think the opposite, that the porsche looks way more cool and modern than the x5, thats why I want to get rid of my 2007 x5 for a 2008 cayenne (maybe we should just trade..)!   I kinda like the x5 interior better, but I think it still looks pretty cool.

Replying to: audi_guy (Jul 24, 2007 8:49 pm) Thanks for the feedback, however, the mercedes has horrible reviews (consumer reports), and the Q7 is just not a sports SUV at all, I too like audit a lot, but I think with the Q7 they really messed up! Its way too large, I think Im going to go with the Cayenne, especially not that I test drove again and discovered the sports button, it really adds a lot of power, plus I believe the Cayenne is the MOST attractive of them all. Fine finishes. Replies to this message: tmhw1 (Jul 25, 2007 8:49 am)
