As it was, the v6 gasoline version similarly equipped ended up being $5K more than the Diesel X5 I bought and that was WITH a significant discount on the Porsche. The Diesel was a MINIMUM of $8K more. Configured the way I would REALLY want the Cayenne Diesel, it would have been $15K more expensive with a 6% discount on the Porsche. It IS nice but you DO have to "pay to play".
I have looked at the Cayenne Diesel also, but you cannot get the same options as in the X5, also there resale value here is poor. I know you don't get the M50d in the US, but to choose between a Cayenne Diesel fully optioned and a X5M 50d optioned up, its hard to go passed the X5.
