Panamera, unless you plan on doing some serious 4x4ing.

 

I just picked up a 2010 RRS, it is a lot better then the older ones but I would never pay near list, let alone a mark up for one.

 

I have had both the RRS SC and a CGTS.

I am 5'-17" and the Cayenne wins here. The RRS SC has a very confining drivers position for anyone with any height at all. Nobody could sit behind me in the RRS SC but if I moved my seat forward a little bit someone could sit behind me in the CGTS.

There is NOTHING like the leather interior in the RRS SC! Hands down the RRS SC wins here. Although I will say, I like that you can get a black alcantera headliner in a CGTS and not in the RRS SC.....

I don't buy that they are getting anywhere close to somethng above MSRP! But, the b/c the 2010 RRS SC has been updated for this year and bhp is up to 510 the demand will be higher until the new wears off...... If you must have one, wait til there is some inventory. Also, Land Rover dealers have assigned sales areas and some are reluctant to sell to someone from another dealer's sales area. Happened to me....

Very true statement. There are only a couple options you can get on a RRS SC - a leather pkg, entertainment pkg and a couple wheel selections. On the CGTS it will cost you $150 for frickin floor mats. You want nav? That will be $x.00. I'm getting a Panamera 4S and it took $30k in options to get it like we liked it..... That is one thing about Porsche that p!sses me off!

With 510 bhp in the RRS SC it's probably pretty quick but surely will not handle like the CGTS. Especially, if the CGTS has PDCC!

Personally, I would keep the GTS.

 

thanks for all the great inputs, especially LRDog who offered great personal experiences. i think i am going to keep the GTS for now, or at least this month. on the side note, i saw 5 RRS walking from my office to lunch. that is about 200 ft!

 

the new RRS supercharged now has 510hp and is fairly quick for its size. for me as well, the space is an issue in the sport. however, we loved the white with the ambica(sp?) interior. its like a dark brown

 

This video has probably been posted before but it's relevant to this discussion:

(drag race between Cayenne Turbo vs '10 RRSS vs X6///M vs Inifinit somethingorother...)

YouTube - Porsche Cayenne v BMW X6 M v Infiniti FX v Range Rover Sport drag race by autocar.co.uk

 

x6 is fast! and RRS was slow.. at least based on the video.

 

does it have to be only those two options? why the not 10 Mercedes GL550?

 

J,
the love for Rover would be gone in about 3 month, or within. knowing u, trust me.

 

hey old buddy... are you around these days? let's plan for lunch. and you are right, i will prob be selling the rr in 5 months.
