$240k even for a Cayenne S in China? I wonder how much Ferrari or Lamborghini worth there in that case, just crazy...
BTW, the German price includes 19% VAT. The Canadian and USA pricing are excluding tax, i.e. you pay it on top of the listed prices.
So basically (in USD minus tax): stripper Cayenne S ...
Germany:$83K
Canada: $76K
USA: $66K
Now for more fun (tax in I think):
China: $240K
Australia: $175K
New Zealand (since I picked on them): $152K
Great Britan: $93K
Dubai: $81K
Basically the Americans have it good, real good!
Anybody higher than China?

We are almost there, a basic "S" is US$227,000, a loaded one would cost way over China's $240K

These prices are crazy!
Make me glad I live in America.
On three more day and my baby and I will be together! Already have the next weekend road trip planned. I am going to enjoy this forum.
I want to get the WeatherTech cargo floor protector but it says it will not work with 2012 models that have 4 way air conditions. As I remember the cargo floor is just flat and has no duct work. What are they talking about?

Well today is the big day. My CS should be ready to pick up at noon. Clear bra and PassPort 9500ci installed and ready to go. I cleaned all of my belongings from the LX570 and I could tell she was very sad and did not know what was happening.
I kinda feel guilty

Ok after a few minutes of driving . . . . What LX570. This thing is awesome.
Got a little bit of a learning curve as the Germans have different ways of getting things done when it come to the telematics! They had her waxed like a mirror, not even a spec of dust.
My sincere thanks to John at Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville. These people made it happen and made it happen smoothly!

Reminds me of the long sad drive to the dealership in my beloved 10yr old X5, to pick up the Cayenne. The BMW was a great vehicle, looked and drove like new for it's last drive, and proved itself very reliable and low-maintanance unlike all the feedback I read here. My 5 year old daughter was crying that morning as we told her to say bye to it, because she was literally born in that car.
Anyways, forgot all about it as soon as I drove the new Cayenne out! No turning back!
