The high-end Cayennes have Porsche engines, seats and paint.
The Cayenne TDI is 100% VW drivetrain (like the gas V6 version) ... so you might get Porsche seats for your extra $15k

What are you talking about with your 15k. This is the European price, and it happens to be the same as the Touareg V6 TDI.

so... it has 25hp and 25lb-ft less than the X5 3.0d, with the same fuel economy and worse performance. And the Cayenne is more expensive to boot. Good one Porsche, sounds like a winning recipe to me.

The regular 3.0D does not produce 265hp

I mean the only one in America, and I didn't feel like typing out "X5 xDrive35d" because I assumed everyone would know which one I meant.

"So what is the difference between this and the Touarsled sorry, Touarhgag, sorry Touarwhatever. Price?"

that, and the shield on the hood. Oh, and the Cayenne gets a less attractive, less rich looking interior. But it does handle better.

Porsche snobs will gladly pay $15k to get the preferred badges on a VW product ... that's why they're the most profitable-per-vehicle automaker.
But you can put 1/3 of that $15k saving into your Touareg and create a beast that will scare the crap out of any Cayenne driver:

Uuhm, the Touareg V6 TDI starts at €47.300,- So you kinda get the Porsche badge for free.
