nice review by automobilmag, although he made the wrong choice in the end imho :

`... Cornering grip, though, is unbelievable, and the Panamera feels light on its feet but unrelentingly buttoned-down, even as it transitions into moderate understeer as you cross its limits - limits so high that we doubt most drivers will ever reach them on the street...` (more on their website)

(all 3 cars in the same price range)

 

Who came up with this retarded comparison? Panamera is an M5 and E63 competitor, 760i and S-class are in a totally different class of cars.

 

The Panamera is 5 inches longer than a 5 series or E class, and 5 inches shorter than a 7 series or S class.

The PanaTT absolutely is competing (and dusting) the S63 and 760.

 

Odd review...The MB was the most sporty and fun? I guess the Panamera can take on the E-classe S-classe 5er and 7er....and WIN!

 

C&D just had a comparo between the Pan S, 750i and Maser Quattroporte GTS and it came in first although it was close overall.

I'd like to see a comparo between the Pan, XJ, and either the S63 or CLS 63.

 

i wanna see Panamera VS Rapide... but I doubt the Rapide is worth nearly twice the price of the PTT....
