Posted this in the Panamera forum but I figured its probably wise to hear from the 'other' side as well so here it goes:

Would you choose a P4S/PS or a X6M to be your daily driver? Both cars are controversially styled, both with 'cramped' rear seats that can only accommodate two and both are within the same budget range.

My personal take on this:

One has the porsche badge while the other sports the M logo so I'd assume prestige wise, these two pretty much cancel one another out.

Exterior styling, I'd probably say a tie as well. Great looking from the front but the rear leaves much to be desired.

Judging both by their interior can be tricky. With full merino leather, X6M looks classier than the Porsche but if you go crazy (read: expensive) with the options on the Panamera, the scale tips over to the latter.

So I guess that leaves us with performance. In my opinion, the X6M is much faster than the S or 4S but handling wise, I'd probably go with the Porsche.

So whats your take on all this? I am debating on which of the two I should get to haul myself on a daily basis but I am having a hard time deciding.

 

Much different ride heights. One is an SUV and the other is a sedan. If you don't need to haul stuff, the sedan is the easy call. Probably much better range as well. Even with the Panny, as you said, it only seats 4. Seems like a waste of space.
