Midsize Sport SUV's

If you could have either an M-B ML55 AMG, a BMW X5 4.6is, or a Porsche Cayenne S, what would you get? Being the Bimmerphile that I am, I'd personally take the X5 over the other German 'Utes.

Only german SUVs?
I'd take the Cayenne.

Just for being a Porsche - and I won't drive BMW
And already got a Benz

Definetley the Cayenne. Not much competition here. It's the best looking car, and as for performance, it's a Porsche, can you really go wrong? A distant second would be the ML55 because it's an AMG and then the BMW. Now if BMW made an MX5, that would be a different story...

an MX5??? sounds like a mazda car, you know like an mx-3 or mx-6.

but i'll get right on the bandwagon and vote for the cayenne.

Range Rover's are full-size SUV's, not mid-size.

Its not listed in the original options but my choice would be the Touareg with the V10 diesel. It will be cheaper, better looking, better offroader , more fuel efficient while still having loads of power (356 Hp and 631 Lbs Tq with only a chip acording to EVO magazine) than its brother the Chayenne.

Re: Midsize Sport SUV's

unfair?
you pick the top of the line merc to go against lower model bmw and porsche suv's?

cayenne turbo. hands down.

if bmw makes an M version of the x5, that gets my vote.

Love bmw so I have to go with Bavarian boy and take the X5. It does have excellent performance, luxury, and looks good. There is also a new X5 coming out with a 4.8L V8 with even better performance.
