Very nice. Trimmed up nicer than I expected, this one had the appearance package. Great sound. Great torque and smooth power band, car really flies and can be easily tweaked. Wonderful clutch and short throw stick, too bad BMW won't do it. I was shifting like I'd been driving the car for years, smooth, crisp and spot on. Didn't feel as torquey as my 540 but the speedo said otherwise...I was going faster than I thought when I let her rip, 85 after shifting out of second and a bit into third. Car only had 28 miles on it, so I didn't want to kill it. Very taut suspension, but not bone jarring. Car was tight, quiet and smooth. Not a squeak or rattle that I heard. Did I mention the great exhaust note? Also, the seats are supportive and comfortable. When I got back in my 3 with sport seat, I felt more like I was sitting on the seat rather than in. The 'stang felt more like my 540 comfort seats.

After that review, I might have to take one for a spin.

We stopped by the Porsche stealership here in Tyson's this afternoon--they have a row of like 15 Cayenne's lined up, and I figured we could prolly steal one if we liked it. We didn't drive it (didn't want to transfer the booster seats from our rental into the car), but we weren't overly whelmed with them either.

The only one we'd consider is the base model (due to price considerations), and I'm guessing we'll prolly prefer the all-new MDX due out this Fall over the P-car. That being said, I'll have to defer a final decision until after we've had a chance to test drive.
