I know they're COMPLETELY different, but I think if I don't do the E (only because my dealer can't seem to find the color I'm after) I may consider the Cayenne.

I ac tually did.

The reasons why I didn't go for the Cayenne S:
1) A bit too wide. Tight garage space.
2) Right combination of options not available from dealer. Keyless go and PASM.

Otherwise, I probably would have gone for it. Great accelaration and fun.

Hey, I think it's a great comparison, as did others on the thread that Hell On A Harley linked (thanks for that)...no worries about the apples to oranges--I was actually considering a Range Rover and the E500!
