Huh? Replacing the steel brakes on a Cayenne are about as much as an F150. If you are talking about PCCBs that is almost irrelevant to the question at hand, I don't think you can even get them on an S.

Given the choice of those two I'd take the pepper all day long. Better built, more reliable, better longevity. The coolant pipes are the only big issue and the were fixed permanently from 2008 on. I had a 2009 GTS with 75k that was a fantastic SUV. By that point an X5 is falling apart inside and out.
