mmr66 shouldn't talk about cars. Great i've been in both cars as well, referring to the cheap thin plastic like leather in the Porsche, BMW is better quality and every aspect of manufacturing their cars, as opposed to the super toureagit's being compared to.

The quality of the x6 is better than the gts! All the car magazines says that, not me. And the looks....well the x6 is sportier and prettier.

The X5 is now a true people mover with 7 seats. BMW will make an X5M but it will still be their family car. The Cayenne has always been just a massive 911. No one who ever bought it had any intention of going off road, even though it could if it wanted to. The GTS is the most road-oriented Cayenne ever. It is to the Cayenne range what the X6 is to the BMW X cars - the sports SUV for the road. BMW was smart enough to realise that something with that purpose needn't be practical for a family or even look like it. Hence the 6-series roof and 4 seats. I'd trust them both equally for quality and performance - they're both high on tech - but I think the Cayenne is hideous inside and out. If I had to choose one of these anti-SUVs, it'd be the Bimmer.

No, the leather is quite supple actually. The seat is hard as a rock though. Its better for long-haul comfort and just so happens to be good for your spine also...who'd a thought...

the cayenne platform is 5 years old, the X6 is brand new, so surprisingly not too far behind. 5 years are lightyears in terms of developing technology. the next cayenne generation will come out in a year, it will def. kick the buttugly X6 to the moon.

what sort of comparison is this? bloody ridiculous! one is a tall hatchback with a rideheight that will see it barely scrape over a speedbump and one is a large SUV that in usual form is actually quite capable offroad. I think BMW should be sued $10,000 each time they call this x6 an offroader.

The Porsche fanboys are on then! I have actually drove and compared both of these, the person who says the Porsche has better build quality is dreaming! It doesnt even come close. The X6 looks fantastic, the Porsche looks odd. The rideheight is about the same, in fact the Porsche is a lower car.
If the X6 is so much of an ugly and pointless car, why are Land Rover now moving in with their own version, along with Audi and Merc waiting to see sales figures.
Oh and residuals for the Cayenne!! omg!

Both cars are useless SUVs!
Did anyone tell the morons at BMW/Porsche that a $25k Renault with half the horsepower will trash both of these around Nring!?
This comparison in ridiculous and completely useless for SUVs... It's like running the M6 vs the 911 Turbo on an offroad track...

M6 vs 911 Turbo on an offroad track would be awesome to see. But yeah, silly comparison for suv's. I sure hope gm doesn't step in spend 3 years, countless dollars and go, oh yeah, well our yukon can get a 8:53 lap time.

besides that, there is nothing a X6 can do. It hasn`t got a useful trunk, it hasn`t got big space in the rear and it hasn`t got big skills to go offroad. ah well i am wrong it can do something, it can look ugly :D

THAT PORSCHE IS SO UGLY! BY THE WAY, WHO SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED ON THE TRACK? THEY ARE PERFORMANCE SUV AND NEITHER ARE MEANT FOR OFFROAD. THE FACT IS THAT THE PORSCHE USES SO MUCH VW STUFF THAT IT IS NOT ONLY UGLY WITH FAT ROLLS, BUT ALSO HEAVY WITH CR@P METALS AND VW COST CUTTING TECHNOLOGY.BMW X6 IS THE KING DEFINATELY, THAT'S WHY PORSCHE WANTS TO COPY ITS 1 SERIES AND THAT'S WHY AUDI COPIED BMW'S X3 WITH ITS UGLY Q5. BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ALL VW GROUP PRODUCTS ARE FAT?

VW cant make a profit because they spend too much money on their components. Where do you get "VW cost-cutting technology" from? Wherever you get it, you should tell VW, so they can make some money!

you think the x3 is better looking than the current q5, clearly your perception is f*cked up

Well well well. Just want to say one thing. Two years ago cousin of mine used to work for BMW as a sub. He is a hardcore BMW fan and he could not believe that they had a brand new Porsche Cayenne stripped into pieces with every part numbered. If u wonder where this great BMW SUV comes from well there u go.

What a stupid comparison test! How can they compare Porsche and BMW. Porsche is in a higher league. BMW X6 should be compared to Ssangyong Actyon, Rexton, Musso and KIA Sorento. These are his competitors. X6 looks almost like Actyon. Come on, how can they even think about compering this two vehicles. You don't have to drive or see them. You just must know the name. Everything is in the name. Porsche wins!!! Who cares about the look, power, or comfort. It's about who has done their job better in the past.

so what your saying is if you build one good quality car, and everything else from that point on is shit, it shouldnt matter because you built that one good quality car, its clear you have NO IDEA what so ever about business.

You have successfully achieved two major things making your comments. You successfully proved to everybody you don't know anything about cars, and that you have turds for brains. Go drive a Porsche and then drive a BMW and come back and maybe make a reasonable comment.

If I had to choose between these two I would take the Porsch. I wouldn't even try driving the X6 because it's BMW. BMW means nothing to me. It's Porsche or Mercedes Benz. I don't care how good BMW's are. When I see one it feels so blank. No history, no name, no passion. Just car to show off. The only good looking BMW is X5 and everything else is so ugly.

wow thats powerful man! i cant believe you reckon that bmw drivers want to be porshe drivers haha, y do people buy m3's over 911's? price and practicality are two fundermental reasons. porshes are fantastic cars but they only appeal to a market sector like everyother manufacturer. people buy what they want!!

anyone who would take a x6 over a gts given the option for both is DUMB

The older the Cayenne becomes the more it looks like another version of the Tourag or maybe Tourag GTI?

I love the looks of the X6. Very different but these two are in seperate classes are they not.
