Not really comparable lol Especially with 2 kids IMO.

I know! Plus it has full air suspension and you can lower it fairly low (just like on this pic). They sure did a great job on the redesign.

That's what I thought until I saw one in person.

The interior seating and space isn't as roomy as the X5 (obviously), but there is loads of room for luggage, bags, and strollers in the trunk. Heck, there is even storage under the hood!

To have a car that requires no gas, no oil and has no engine or transmission is crazy.

maybe a camry, or a 750 or maybe a M3 ... who knows lol

I'm thinking of shifting away from BMW for a while. If so, I'd probably get the next gen Panamera. If not, i'd probably wait for the F85 facelift in 2019 (approximate) and get one.

wow, always wanted to test-drive the cayenne gts but never got to. probably one of the most driver focused suvs out there.

I took my neighbor's GTS for a spin the other day. He has the special edition Peridot Green, a color that's definitely not for everyone

Anyway, I must say, the car felt very planted and solid. I forgot I was driving an SUV! IMO, you're right on the money when you say that it's one of the most driver-focused SUVs.

I love the Cayenne and Macan drives even better. However, even a Macan is more than a loaded BMW X5 35d.

ano0oj · 07-19-2015, 12:33 PM

my eyes are set on a M4...or an M3

The Macan is great-looking too. If only there was more legroom in the back seat. But then again, that's what the Cayenne is for

I thought this thread was about what you will replace your X5 with

How can people be getting M3/M4's or Ferrari's lol I'm thinking about another SUV not a coupe or sports sedan.

Nothing wrong with wanting to add a coupe or sports sedan to one's stable. What would your next SUV be?

Of course it's fine to add other cars but that's not what I meant

i saw the new volvo xc90 on a truck, ironically at a bmw dealership when i was picking up my new m performance x5 haha. looked good, but not nearly as sporty and aggressive as the f15 IMO. tech and operation in the bmw are perfect. hard to compare to any other brand because everything else is sub par

kanvas · 07-27-2015, 05:28 PM

I think the XC90 looks a bit odd. Looks a bit too square-ish and futuristic? I've been talking about the Cayenne GTS a few posts back, but I think I'd like the GL63 AMG now!

ScoopsLR · 07-27-2015, 06:07 PM

Selling my M3 for one. Pick up Friday

The XC90 is not bad looking wagon, its just a little to blingy inside?

The one you saw was definitely not the more sporty R-Design since they are not out yet so you can't really compare it to the M sport

I disagree it's sub par, Volvo has done an amazing job on the redesign and the tech with safety are excellent based on the reviews!

If you think the XC90 looks like a wagon then you haven't seen the new Q7 lol
