However, not compared to a Turbo or a form of "GT" in the SUV-class (similar to the 997 GT3 vs. 997 S), but as an REAL alternative to the Cayenne S for the following reasons: ....

Compared to the Cayenne S, this definetely makes sense.

Since you own a X5 M now and have better comparison now with the Cayenne GTS, you may realize that especially on a heavy SUV, the POWER is actually what counts most. Of course the chassis is important too but what does a sporty chassis help if your car barely moves?! Smiley

 

100% agree, no doubt about.Smiley
Especially a SUV needs a lot of power, there is no substitute, except with more power..Smiley

But my point wasn't the expected fact that the X5M is no comparison to the GTS, as the X5M is another class such as the Cayenne Turbo S which isn’t comparable to the GTS either.
The GTS is more comparable with the Cayenne S, the ML 500 and the X6 4.4i, as for the hp.

And there it makes a lot of sense, apart from the fact of the new Cayenne 2010.
I think you got the point...Smiley
