That is what I was thinking (test drove a 991 S last week). The two cars are completely different. I'd love the Porsche but I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and with our winters the Porsche isn't the best choice. Plus, after the residual and lease rates in Canada, you might as well be buying the car out - not something I'd want to do with a Porsche that has spent 3 winters in the salt and sand. So it turns out in my province, the S is a rich man's toy.

The M5 on the other hand is well suited to winters up here and a young family. Granted it will never drive and handle like the S, but is will make a satisfying alternative.
