Buying new 4x4 SUV - what would you recommend?

I want to buy a new 4x4, which would you recommend?

I'm thinking of a Range Rover Sport 3.0 Diesel or Porsche Cayenne 3.0 Diesel. The car will rarely go off road.

I have not driven either of the new models. But our guy Keith Adams speaks very highly of the new Range Rover Sport: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/land-rover/range-r.../

Refined with sports-car like handling. Great performance. Low emissions from hybrid version. Stylish and high-class cabin. Frugal diesel.
Bigger and more economical than the old model. Great to drive on-road but with typical Land Rover off road ability. Fantastic traction and ability in the worst conditions.
