Unless you're off roading, I think the Q7 is better, it has more interior space, can fit 7 WITH some luggage, and has a nicer, if a little sportier ride.
Still vote new Cayenne

Aye, the RR Sport isn't a big car inside. Passenger and boot space are substantially smaller than the Q7.
But then neither is the panamera
its not even a 5 seater let alone a 7 !!
if space doesnt matter that much, what about the quattroporte ?
this looks lush !

I absolutely agree about the Sport and the Q7, however the Normal RR vs the Q7 I think is a different matter.
What about the Quattroporte Spie? You never commented

Too expensive?

Am I missing something or does the £72,535 (+extras) RR Vogue SE only have a 3.6L TDI engine that does 0-60 in 8.6 seconds?
If so it fails to meet my basic requirements criteria.

In a car of this type (or arguably, any type) the 0 - 60 time is irrelevant. The TDV8 engine is very good indeed and more than enough to shift a RR along at a decent pace. How fast are you looking to go?
You want the Autobiography V8 SC @ £82K
Again, the A8 fits everything you asked for except outright pace compared to the Porsche, but far better economy, if you are going to dismiss the new RR Sport. The ML AMG is quick, 4wd etc etc but not sure just how much room you want.

Over £81,000 and still handles like a hippo on Stella.
Not that it's a major consideration but the RR 5.0L managed just 19mpg combined to the Panamera's 23.2.
At least as fast as I go now in my V8 TDI Q7 which is around 0-60 in 6.4 seconds.
Yep, the A8 is lovely. No S8 yet though. When that arrives it will be a serious contender.
The awd stipulation means you lose the Rapide and the Quattroporte S, the obvious contenders, so you'll have to compromise somewhere in consideration.
If comfort is one of the main criteria, and the S8 sticks to it's roots, it won't be great in comparison to the A8. It's a fairly ridiculous car all things considered. The 2010 A8 diesel is 5.5sec and 37mpg and the Dynamic mode is pretty much adequate for pressing on. Ski's are catered for with the load through and waterproof bag that comes attached.
You'd be missing a trick if you don't look at the new RR Sport I reckon, it's a seriously nice bit of kit and very well sorted by all accounts.

I wouldn't buy another RR Sport and they are not spacious enough.
A8 4.2TDI would fit the bill. In fact I test drove one before I bought the Q7 and it sold me on the fab 4.2TDI engine.
If your dismissing the LR range then why not just buy another Q7? maybe the V12?
Just cant see how it measures up to a Range Rover. I've got an A6 which is the same interior pretty much as a Q7 and its a nice place to be, but its completely outclassed by the Range Rover (again not the sport which is only suitable for pimps and drug dealers )
