Drove both twice. Trading in our MDX. IMO the Cayenne S is not worth the extra $$$ mainly because it's going to be my wife's car . If it were for me, I'd skip the S and go for the TT . Seriously, I think the Touareg looks better and, except for the two-tone interior (unless you get anthracite leather), the rest of the interior is quite a bit nicer than the Cayenne's. The Cayenne definitely handles better and feels lighter/more nimble at slower speeds. Also Porsche service is a big plus over VW service. The "luxury" segment is new to VW and they are definitely experiencing growing pains.
