We did the BMW ultimate drive event recently, here in DC metro and they pitched the XC90 V8 Sport against the E70 X5 4.8, ML500 and the GX470.

I must say I really like the XC90 a lot. I ranked it second after the X5 and way ahead of the W164 ML500 and the outclassed GX470.

I thought the Yamaha V8 in the XC90 was more sonorous than the X5s. The car felt solid and confidence inspiring in the tight turns save for the tendency to understeer and a little torque steer. For some reason I thought the XC90 was better screwed together than the X5.
