I test drove a 2005-ish ~340hp Cayenne S the other day, just to see what I was missing. Wow, talk about a disappointment. The automatic was laggy, the must be at least a 1 second delay between mashing the pedal and it finally accelerating, and it didn't seem to handle much better than the RX330. It was faster than the RX330 but not significantly more, not enough considering the S has 100 more horsepower than the RX330.

Maybe the turbo s would accelerate better.

As far as comfort, space, etc, both the RX and Cayenne are similar.

I think I made the right decision with the Lexus.
