Assuming the following scenario, which do you choose and why?

2011 Porsche Cayenne
- 40,000 miles
- 2 years of CPO warranty
- $38k

2011 Lexus GX 460
- 40,000 miles
- 3 years of CPO warranty
- $32k

Both have around 300HP, both have full time AWD, and both have similarly equipped interiors. Drive about 17,000 miles/year.

Huge chick/mom vehicles.

Who's the chick driving them? Ask her which one she likes.

If it's my vehicle, the Porsche. If it's for the wife, the Lexus.

Long-term reliability will ne better with the Lexus, but dang, its as plain as dry toast.

The Lexus is 4x4, which is superior to AWD, and has a low range and a differential locker. It's a much more serious offroad vehicle. The Lexus will also last longer and cost less to own.

the lexus will be cheaper to fix when needed. I would rather have the porsche, but if you are worried about repairs breaking you, then lexus.

IMO the Porsche interior is garish. Console is dominated by two huge air vents and pointless grab handles.

The Cayenne is much more enjoyable and engaging to drive. I've owned one.

I'm sure this is really an issue.

Which carries more groceries from Whole Foods? That is a more realistic question.
