Cayenne v alernatives

Just wondering... of those that have CTT's or considering the new CTT model, what do you consider as alternatives?

AMG ML63 or do you consider sedans as alternatives?
I drove an ML63 last week and could NOT believe the power.
i have had the last Cayenne TT and X5 4.8is.
generally found the X5 the most comfortable all rounder but with no "is" version available, i am contemplating the new cayenne.

ML is great but here in Oz, 90% of owners seem to be women picking up kids...

wow! i have been hearing crazy power about the ML63. i think i shoudl drive one. I really couldn't tell you the alternatives as i only had the S model and i personally liked it better than the x5. but i did drive a x5 once and was like, hey this is not bad at all. Overall looking at all the factors the cayenne S was best choice for me.

ML63 is a great alternative to the Cayenne Turbo.. however, since the new model is coming out soon i think that you should wait and drive it and then decide which you like most.... but at the end of the day, perhaps the ML63 might not feel as "sporty" and "connected" as the Cayenne...

if you don't need that much power i would seriously suggest the Audi Q7 4.2 premium... its just SO MUCH BETTER than the trucks you are considering...

Ive been hearing many good reviews about hte Jeep SRT8 and even if you get bored with its performance, you can always modify it cheaper than the Cayenne.

The ML63 is a monster, seriously after seeing the indoor car test from Autocar, Really is a strong conteder.

I second that though I have cayenne S, not turbo.
Looking forward to get turbo or turbo S.

Cayenne is by far the best choice in my opinion. But the Range Rover is something i cant help but admire evertime i see one drive by, even though there are a ton of them on the road. They just seem to scream luxury for some reason. But i heard they arnt the most reliable cars.
