I have never test driven a Cayenne, so I cant compare the ride to the Mercedes but I can say that on paper the MB looks a little better.
The MB has better gas mileage and MB is offering discounted interest rates right now – if you would be financing the vehicle this may help. The main difference I see btwn the two is that the Cayenne has more horsepower.
But for me, an extra 22hp isn’t more important than how much I am going to have to pay to fill it up.
Bottom line – you are sooooo lucky that you are able to be able to afford either one of those vehicles.
porsche is way better…better style…better class..more horsepower…nicer sound..very smooth ride…everything you want in a car…perfect fit..
The Porsche has the REAL goods for the offroad as well, whereas, MBZ decided to make a unibody, carlike frame for the new ML…for posers.
If you want the fastest SUV in the world(at 171mph), then get the Porsche. If you want comfort…get the Benz.
The cayenne is a better car in pretty much every way, shape and form.
Its far more reliable (mercedes are pretty unreliable nowadays), its more presitigious, it rides just as good, is faster, drives better, handles better, stops better, etc etc.
The M class is a pretty crappy SUV, which people just buy because it says mercedes on it. Id take a 4runner over one.
Porsche Cayenne is the best and I have the 2005 Posche cayenne Turbo S which hits 60 in 5 seconds will do 175 mph and is way better then the M class but lets take it both of them might have all the toys tht an off roader need but they are not very good off roaders because when it comes to a huge rock piece the whole under body gets scratched if you want a real off roader then go for the Legendary Range Rover but still I would never sell my Porsche Cayenne Turbo S cos its my fav and is the worlds fastest.
Porsche Cayenne
Porsche Cayenne – hands down. Have you driven both? What do you like better?
Here’s the thing, these two cars are completely different monsters. Unarguably, both are excellently built for the purpose they seek to serve. The ML Mercedes (I’ll speak about the outgoing model) is a very smooth and safe car. It has a lot of luxuries but not that many you would expect from a Mercedes, especially when buying the 500, or the AMG 63. The computer based computer embedded next to the tachometer can be a pain to use due to its complicatedness. Both cars are very quick, specifically the AMG version, which boasts 503 horses and is mated with an AMG air suspension which allows the driver to set its stiffness and simultaneously the height of the car. A less sporty version of this suspension is an option for the non-AMG ML’s. Truth be told, even in sport mode, the cars are not as sporty as a Cayenne or a BMW X5 4.8is. Also, the steering is very smooth which although is good for everyday driving, it can be rather annoying when you want to drive the car a little harsher. It lacks feel and involvement for the driver.
Now, the Cayenne is a Porsche. That should say a lot by itself. It has excellent ride quality and can manage very well off-road. But it is on the road that this car shows what it’s is really made of. It handles and drives like a sports car, something very hard to get with an SUV, even with an AMG version of the ML. The interior of the Cayenne is very simple but still amazingly luxurious with tons of convenience features. Though, I got to say, that Porsche went wrong with the exterior. Sharing the same wheel-base with the Volkswagen Touareg is not a bad thing and it is very common amongst related motor companies to share technologies, but the design of the Cayenne is only distinguished by its front fascia and rear end. Thus, if you remove those you will see a Touareg, which is not that pleasing when you paid to get a Porsche.
It is a tough call. The Cayenne is getting rather old whereas the ML has been around since late 2005 and won’t change for a long time, thus making it fresher. It is all up to what you’re looking for in a car.
Hope I helped, good luck with your choice.
you know what? if you want an suv buy one. if you want a sports car buy one. a sports car/suv will always be a compromise… the jeep srt8 cherokee SMOKES a cayenne turbo and any amg benz KILLS a regular cayenne so decide what it is you want. none of the super fast suv’s are worthy of any off road status so get specific and roll with it baby!
i didnt know that, is there another article like that? because i really wanna know more about it
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
