I had a 1st gen x5 hybrid that I loved, but was always in the shop for evap/emissions issues.

I think the current x5 in general rides better, is built better, and is more engaging to drive than a q7 or GLE, and the gap between the cayenne and the x5 really isn't worth the price premium imo unless you're dead set on specing out every stitch and crevice in a custom order.

The range and b58 engine make it probably the most compelling plug in hybrid on the market.

I currently drive an A6, but would definitely consider another x5, but CPO this time.

I cross shopped X5 hybrid and GLE450e. X5 had a better engine and more engaging drive. I liked the GLE interior, just felt luxurious. Settled on GLE. Mostly because of the past experience. We had a 2014 GLE ( ML350 back then) and it was a reliable vehicle and worked well for us for over 10+ years.

I hope my father dies before my mom. Otherwise he’d consider it my duty to drop my life & move home to cook & clean for him, like my mother does.

(IE my mom sprained her wrist and has carpel tunnel but she’s still expected to wash his dishes and he refuses to just buy a dishwasher). Please God, let him die first.

Porsche introduced the Macan T. Essentially a base engine Macan with a lot of the GTS appearance/suspension/features standard. With a few important upgrades it’s $70k flat. Thoughts on this vs a Macan S built to similiar specs costing $85-90?

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
