I've got my production space for a new Cayenne Turbo for November this year, but am starting to have some second thoughts.

I've been lucky enough to own 3 Cayennes over the last 6 years, a MK 1 S, and MK 2 S and I now have a MK 2 GTS. While the new model inside is a million miles better than the older versions, from the outside I think it looks much smaller than the older models.

Realising I'm not 100% on the look of the new car, have any of you had experince moving from a Cayenne to another 4x4 and what were your thoughts and suggestions for alternatives?

A 4x4 is not critical for my main car, but a 911 will be no good for me day to day!

Ideas please smile

I've never liked Cayennes but I think the new one has a wonderful interior. I'd stick with it.

Alternatives you should have a go in.

Bentley Conti
Aston Rapid/DB9
Ferrari 612
Audi RS6

I prefer the previous shape and would take the turbo S. Only other one 4x4 which I like is the G55

I saw a new Turbo today, a fine looking car in its current guise.











  • Please note, I spent 60k on a funny looking Landcruiser so my taste may differ to yours

Like the ideas but....
Bentley - never thought this would be good for everyday use and really need a 4 door car
612 - again, as a 2nd car but not for everyday and I need a big boot
RS6 - these anygood? I tried the Q7 before I bought my GTS but wasn't impressed.
Maser GT - Love this car, but from what I hear they're not for everyday, too many issue / quality problems?
BMW - No chance, BMW let me down when I had an M3 stollen so never again (not that it will bother them!)

I prefer the Mk 2 shape, but then you suggest a G55 rolleyes seriously it looks like a greenhouse on wheels and assume it wont be that great at handling!!!

I ran a ML63 for 2 years doing 60,000 miles. It has an epic engine, way more enjoyable to drive than you might think ,just the sound alone...You might not want to pay for the petrol though, mine was a co car with a fuel card.

It improved with age getting quicker and quicker and timing 0-100 in 9s towards the end. I don't think any of the car mags test properly used cars, they're all barely broken in.

Now thats a good idea, keep the Cayenne and get another toy. The garage have a nice 911 turbo cab smile

EDIT - And I've just seen your garage and my Saggy arse will leave your 911 miles behind smile

Indeed it will - Assuming that Speed 6 holds together wink

Seriously though, the Sag is my fave TVR and I would LOVE one.

If you don't need 4x4, have you thought about moving to a Panamera?

I thought about it. The downside is the price though, £85k is Panny 4S money rather than Turbo money. It makes the Cayenne look cheap in comparison!

I really like the Panamera, but its only 4 seats and I need 5, otherwise this would be an option. The garage have lent me a number of them a few times and the 4S is stunning to drive

Totally left field, F150 raptor....................just had a ride in one and I am completely blown away.

It is not the fastest thing on the planet but my god it had road presence in spades, and with the crew cab a full 5 seater.
