Hence didn't even bother joing the Porsche forums when I was doing my research. Just went out and read up and bought. Just reading the forums irritates me. They're worst than BMW owners. :-)

wow. Seem to get this from some Audi owners when I really don't act all excited that my car is a Audi. I love to see their face when I tell them I bought the car on looks alone. I drive a 2010 s5. I really did. This is my first Audi and I just like the design. I also looked at a genius coupe but I did not want to take a huge hit on resell.

Thanks for the input. I have decided to go with the Q5 Prestige. At the end of the day, I need this car for a daily utilitarian hauler. Although the Porsche certainly is faster and the interior is gorgeous, I think that my dollars will be better spent elswhere. Just because you can buy it, doesn't mean you should. I am really waiting for an RS7, if it actually comes to fruition; I look at this as a fun, temporary placeholder.
I posted the same question on the Cayenne board at 6 speed, and although the response was somewhat as expected, in support of Cayenne, I was amazed at the difference in attitude compared to Audiworld. The feeling I got there was "hey if you have to ask, then maybe you can't afford it." Here the attitude was much more helpful and down to earth. I have plenty of "means" and could easily have gotten either car; just wanted some honest input, which I certainly got here. Thanks all!!

Q5 vs Cajun??
http://www.thepassinglane.ca/2010/09...led-cajun.html
New Porsche SUV could be called Cajun
A new Porsche SUV could be based on the Audi Q5, shown.
By Paul McVeigh, Automotive News Europe
Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn said a new Porsche small SUV will be brought to market soon as part of plans to expand the sports car brand's lineup to boost sales.
Winterkorn said Porsche will get "a new SUV, a smaller brother to the Cayenne which might be named Cajun." He was speaking in an interview with German magazine Der Spiegel that was published Monday.
Volkswagen is taking over Porsche Automobil Holding SE's carmaking operations as the companies build on a partnership that includes sharing vehicle platforms.
The Porsche Cayenne shares a platform with the VW Touareg and Audi Q7.
Winterkorn wants Porsche to expand its four-model lineup to double sales in the medium term to 150,000 cars and SUVs. Besides a small SUV based on the Audi Q5, Porsche could build a new small sports car.
German press reports have said Porsche could launch sales of the small SUV at the end of 2014 or early 2015.

I came out of a Cayman S into my Q5 and haven't looked back. This was to be a daily driver for me and I don't think I could have chosen better. I wasn't going to spend the money for a new Cayenne, but I did shop some used ones in the price range of my new Q5. The Q5 was big enough for my needs and has an adequate towing capacity for what I wanted. The Cayenne would have just been excess-everthing and it would have cost me more to drive every time I turned the key.

Coming from a Porsche guy, I think I can share this one:
What is the difference between a Porsche and a Porcupine?
The Porsche has the ****** on the INSIDE LOLOL
If you can't laugh at yourself every once in a while who can ya laugh at ;o]
