I'd go for the Cayenne. It's a Porsche and it uses a proven diesel engine borrowed from Audi. If the XF were an option, that's what I'd get - but I did read the first post. So, from that, Cayenne. Good luck!

Took me a while to see what you were saying. Sounds like a nice engine.

Just like the diesel engines in the Rover...

You simply can't have a Cayenne with a V6 diesel, it's epicly lame. Plus the Rover looks a gazillion times better than the pepper. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but this is one of those exceptions where it's a simple fact of life.

That was what i was thinking but i wondered if the XF was a special edition model Land Rover, they have a few different ones listed on their website.

I was on their website last night - it is by far the worst auto manufacturers website i've been on in years.

This is going to be a UK car, right?

I vote for the RRS. Had one for 3 years and it was solid as a rock and looks great too. If you ever do need to take it off road or tow (you never know) you'll be perfectly fine as well. I put 22's on my

which I don't think you'll be doing...
