God, I love it when you talk dirty......... You're a man's woman and honorary MOR!

You're right this is humorous stuff... Did you think I can't read what model you delineated in your post? I promise I'm a little bit "edumukated" AND that I did indeed drive the dang thing (nice interior for a woman's car!). As I said you're entitled to a wrong opinion.. it's a free country.
I'm guessing Enigmawmn is highly "edumukated" and knows what a 4.8is "is"...and since she's a "woman" I'll bet she did her homework better than me, a lowly male.. who even though I live in Alabama --- I dun knew what that thar 4.8is is..... and wow 20 more HP and a "FULL" second.. like a driver makes no difference in this situation??? and lastly.. if you're rolling or you're on the interstate doing 50 and jump to 100.. I'd argue that ANY Cayenne S, Tit.S or TT will kick any BMW X5 4.8is' jelly bean hippo's ****.
PLEASE PLEASE POST YOUR DEALER'S NAME>>>>> We want Peter the Great to know what an idiot he has in your 'hood. Actually wait a minute.. bad rep with the alpha/beta models.. oil at nearly $100/barrel... a forum full of idiots who don't know what a 4.8is is... that'll keep people from buying Cayennes and I can still drive around here without seeing another Cayenne all that often... BINGO!! Let's just call it a DRAW!

[Wow, I feel so much smarter, now. It is amazing how much of our egos we have tied up in such subjective matters, and how opinions get stated as facts on these forums. Just a few contrary opinions, and I'll freely confess that they are just that:

1. Sorry, but the X5 in any version looks feminine to me. Strapping some wide tires on the back doesn't change that. But, what the heck, I think the Cayenne looks feminine, too. The turbo grille makes it a little less so, but the facelift just make it look Japanese AND feminine. But what do I know? The most beautiful car I ever saw was the "retired" unmarked Ford highway patrol interceptor with a Wood brothers 429 that I bought in high school.
   
2. I agree with the BMW gurus that it would be an insult to the real M-class vehicles to slap that moniker on the 4.8is.
   
3. Have driven the 4.8is a fair amount - no, not my wife's, my biking buddy's. My wife won't let me drive her cars like that. It's a better bargain than my Cayenne, but I'm glad I paid the difference. The X5 handles a little bit better, most notably in a slalom, but the acceleration difference is much larger in my Cayenne's favor, especially in real-world driving. And hearing that I spent too much money on my CTT-PK from someone who obviously has spent a TON of money on very nice vehicles, when other, much less expensive vehicles would have been "better bargains," is truly one of the more definitive ironies I've seen on this board.
   
4. The X5 is NOT an SUV. No low-range. No real off-road capability. Limited towing - even relative to the Cayenne. At least BMW is honest enough not to even call it an SUV (it's officially an SAV), unlike other makers, who stick to their poseur stance and still try to call their jacked-up station wagons SUVs. ----------- Okay, so that one's not an opinion, it's a fact. You caught me sneaking one in.
   
5. I didn't believe half of what my Cayenne salesman said, as it was clear he knew less than half of what I knew about the vehicle. I certainly wouldn't have believed what he said about another vehicle. It sounds like yours must have just found it his boss was sleeping with his wife.
   
6. And finally, if there's anything that can make the screwed-up electronic interface of the Cayenne look good to me, it has to be i-drive.

As I've said before, I think it's just great that we are all so fortunate as to be here arguing the merits of all these ridiculously overpriced vehicles, and I'd hate to be an auto designer-engineer trying to guess which features and price-points are going to be a hit with such an opinionated bunch of folks, myself included.

It all depends on what one's definition of an "is" .... is!

Are you sure , though? Because to this day Carmela Soprano thinks Tony gave her a CTT
