Hello Pelicanheads! I'm in need of some friendly advice. My current daily driver's (Audi A6 2.7T) lease is up in two weeks. It is time for some serious decision making. I need all wheel drive due to my Long Island location coupled with my extremely steep 250' long driveway. I currently have a refundable deposit on an '04 MB E500 4Matic sedan. No pricing yet from the dealer but the dealer made it clear I would be paying sticker for the car (EVERY dealer in my area said the same). Delivery of the E-class 4 Matics is not expected until the end of November. Last week while on vacation I test drove the Cayenne S and I must say I was impressed. I HATE SUV's as daily drivers but this thing was something else entirely. It handled well with no slop, was very comfortable and the engine note from that V-8 was pure music! I can extend the lease on the Audi month to month, for four months, but it's out of warranty, I'm bored etc. As far as other vehicles in the household, My wife has an '03 all-wheel drive Town & Country minivan (three girls ages 5, 2 and 4 mos) and I've got an '88 930 for my toy. The Cayenne Turbo is just too expensive or else I would have jumped on it. So what's the verdict; Practical Porsche or classy yet quick sedan? Thanks for your responses as I am really in need of some fresh opinions!
