I don't really like the exterior or interior design of either car...and for that much money, looks are pretty high up on my list. M6 Grand Coupe for me, without question. CLS 63 is a close second

reviewer says up front the S wasn't available because it was being launched right after they did the review. but it wouldn't matter, the 'non S' still ate the audi for lunch except in a straight line.

not me - i find the panamera better in every way. but then, as reviewer said, as tested it was 60k more.

yeah, that's my biggest beef. it's way way out of my budget. and i liked panamera, but i got little tired of it. knowing porsche, they will probably keep this design for good.

I love how the VW produces both cars, yet they are so different. Nothing is shared between these monsters.

RS7 is a lot of bang for the buck. While the Turbo S would be an interesting comparo, guessing it would be what like $200k vs the low 100's?

Thats what I said, its not very common for a company to produce 2 cars that are cross shopped.
