| You Have a Choice in Autos (Posted on 10/5/12 at 8:03 pm)
Keys are in hand to give you ownership of a slightly used, 2,700 mile driven Audi A8, fully loaded, extended length Or A new 2013 Porsche Cayenne diesel, fully loaded. What say you? ETA: Here's the dilemma. We are going to purchase an auto after 2 months of shopping. After reviews and test driving all makes, we've come to Porsche Cayenne diesel. Comfort, style, and efficiency. Dealership just took in trade-in of the A8. It is plush and the same price. It is a very nice ride. So the quandry.

Cost to own not an object. You choose one.

The pictures I just saw look more like a crossover compared to the earlier models. Is the newer one smaller?

It depends on your stage in life, I like diesels, so I would choose the Cayenne.
