Hated them at first but get a Porsche Cayanne Turbo. Thing hauls ass. Otherwise get a Range Rover.
I own a Cayenne Turbo. I wouldn't say the interior of the Porsche is superior to the Land Rover, but coming from an 03 CL55 I think you'd like the Porsche better.
The new Infiniti FX45 is quicker than Porsche's new Cayenne S. Specifically, the FX45 can zip from 0 to 60 mph in slightly more than 6 seconds, while the Porsche Cayenne S takes a bit longer. Though the Porsche is more powerful, but the Infiniti has a better power to weight ratio. The 315-horsepower Infiniti FX45 weighs about 600 pounds less than the 340-horsepower Porsche Cayenne S. Do the math. The 4,949 lb Porsche uses 1 hp per 14.5 lbs, the 4300 lb Infiniti has 1 hp per 13.6 lbs...The FX45 is also quicker than other hot rod SUVs, namely the Mercedes ML55 AMG and the BMW X5 4.6is. And the Infiniti cost less...I like it, but personally could never drive what could technically be considered "rice"...
The Infiniti FX is badass. Don't ask me how, but that thing handles like ano oversized 996TT more than it does an SUV. We had one as the OTC support vehicle of sorts this year and that thing got around the track pretty damn well for itself.
I like the Infiniti but just can't drive a Jap car.
My wife mostly drives a Merc G500 that we are looking to trade for another SUV. The Cayenne Turbo and Range Rover are the top choices now. The Porsche seems a little girly for me to drive although the performance was very impressive.
As for cars, any ideas? Anyone drive a 996 TT as a daily driver?
On a side note, our Porsche dealer has a new Carrera GT in the showroom and it is really impressive in person.

A guy I work with has one. He doesn't use it as a daily driver though he does fit it in the rotation. It seems like it would be a decent daily driver if you can handle the tight footwell. The pedals were too close together for me and I had to turn my foot sideways and press the pedals with the side of my foot to avoid hitting two pedals at once.
