Though between the previous Cayenne Turbo(08-10 model) and X5M, they picked X5M. If F15 X5M can lose ~400-500lbs just like the Cayenne did, I am sure the result will be changed again.

And yes, the interior of X5 is not as good as Cayenne, but it's just about right.
Not a single chance? I remember the C&D article from 2010 where the Cayenne Turbo finished 2nd to the X5M. Here is the 2012 review. Good read. Don't know about 2013...couldn't really find anything.
