Before you start talking about the highs and the lows of each I'll tell you why, because you like those cars! If you ask me anything over 15k is total waste on a car. Get a Honda civic and drive it till' the wheels fall off but most of us like to show a little flare with what we drive.
Some people really hate to buy the cayenne because the Tuareg is very close in performance. I think some of the people here hate to drop 50k on a vw, not that there is anything wrong with that. Like I said before to each his own. Now if I could just figure out what car to buy next.
BTW: I like the 928 and the 944 myself

Do you really want to wait in line for service behind a bunch of bug-owners? I do understand VW dealers offer courtesy vans instead of loan cars....brings back those grade school "carpool" memories....

Slightly off topic but, unfortunately my dealer is also a bug dealer along with Audi. The service department will give no priority on loaners to Porsche owners...It's first come first serve. I have to call my salesperson ahead of time in order to set up a loaner...The service idiots are like talking to a wall and yes, when I spend 70k on a vehicle, I want service and now without being treated the same way as the bottom feeding vw's in the 17k range. My dealer sux including his facility. I wish I lived near a dealer who had a shiny new Porsche designed building and treated their customers the same way. They sort of tarnish my squeaky clean Porsche experience... I must be a snob!!! Ahhh, I feel better now...I needed to purge. Thank you

To rationalize it all find the september issue of TOP GEAR, the uk pubicaton. ( it has a grey chrylser crossfire on the cover if you can still find the issue)
It has a relatively unbiased comparo b/n the X5 4.4, Range Rover, Cayenne S, and Toureg. ...good stuff

You guys really like the Toureg styling better than the Cayenne???? The Toureg looks very conservative-VW- run-of-the-mill-SUV-like to me ....... Cayenne styling is growing on me everyday and the general public is absolutely crazy about it. I can't drive my 955 anywhere without drawing attention and positive comments.
Also, I was a critic of the Cayenne when it first appeared. But after test driving and now owning one: don't think SUV - think 4-door successor to the 928.

Not me, the Cayenne is the real deal...handling, performance, build and comfort. I would never spend 50K on a bloated Passat look alike...Besides, the Cayenne is a Porsche!!!! Through and Through. What more need be said???

Don't get "Top Gear" (a publication of the BBC).
Really don't care if they (or any other pub.) like it or not. I like the Cayenne, and don't really care for the Toureg.
My question back to those who say "you won't really go offroad" thus it's a useless attribute, I say "do you really go 160 MPH in your Porsche?
sigh,
