That's your dissconnect.
If I get a chance to compare it to the regular Cayenne or an S, I definitely will. Right now, I can only compare it to the X5M which, to be honest, I found to be more exciting to drive. The Cayenne TT does certainly have a way of distorting reality though. It's ludicrous how that beast piles on speed without any indication other than the speedo dial swinging wildly.

I'm working on putting together a head-to-head comparison with the new CTT and an X5M in the next few weeks and I'll post the results here along with some photos. Should be fun!

Aside the sound, I found the X5M to be cheap and mass produced in comparison. Handling wasnt even as crisp, nor compliant as the CTT.

I realize the Cayenne is the 'lastest greatest' but they not only raised the bar, they destroyed the old one and built a TOWER in it's place.

okay, I read the first post and this is full of advertising craps. You started out saying that you hate SUV and can't sand their bulkiness. 3-4 lines down, you started going through the list of almost all SUV out there and how great they are. Then, you went on telling us the Cayenne is super. Man, I totally could see myself getting nothing more than a C- trying to pull something like this in my English class years back.

Anyways, I agree that the new Cayenne is a huge improvement from previous model. My gf's aunt was one of the first to get the Cayenne S in the states and I got to drive it back to back in comparision with the new one. Much better suspension, much more responsive. However, one thing that makes me really really dislike the new Cayenne was when an old guy pulled in the gas station with us. He pointed at the new Cayenne I was driving and said "I thought it was the new Hyundai (either Tucson or Santa that he said), until I saw the badge. Nice looking car" I was like WTH

well, then you probably missed the whole entire second paragraph of my post. What to do? scroll upward, slowly and look for the right username. Start reading the frist paragraph word by word and remember a Period [.] doesn't always means the end of a sentence, it could be the end a of a paragraph. The next one usually starts on the next line.
