I think I would much rather have a Quattroporte, however I haven't seen the Panamera in person.

Quattroporte is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! but..............and this is huge...its not AWD up here in New Hampshire its realy needed in the winter.

Emphatically Yes, though the Panamera would be more practical.

I'd rather have a Honda Accord. The Panamera is ugly beyond description... and can you imagine how bad it will look a few years from now? Talk about a design that will become QUICKLY dated.

Hard to judge until I see one in person, but the pics of the Panamera aren't too flattering.

... And those are the angles that Porsche considers the MOST flattering

Quattroporte has a really clunky transmission. Its more Luxury styled.

Panamera will be a much more solid, and performance oriented vehicle.

However the Lamborghini 4-Door personally looks the best.

Timing debacle for production.

I'm wating for Monticello Motorsports Club to start advertising in Porsche Post/Porscheoforus

The quattroporte is beautiful Italian style......
The Panamera.... well.....it is not exactly beautiful.....

From a pure visual standpoint, the Quattroporte is more elegant - the design makes more sense. From a practical perspective, the hatch on the Panamera is a great advantage. In the end you have to drive both, and decide for yourself - if you are in the position to do so.

Agreed. Just sitting in the Maseratti is luxurious comfort that few cars offer. However, their interior ergonomics leaves a bit to be desired....the antithesis of VAG interior design.

Agreed

Been there, done that. I'll take the Masserati....probably the Gran Sport over the Quattroporte

The quattroporte wins hands down. How sporty can a 4400 lbs vehicle be?

No comparison really ... how about the Lamborghini Estoque

Lambo, then Rapide, then Quatroporte, and last,--Panamera. (For styling)

For reliability, Panamera, Lambo, Quatro, and then Rapide.

Aston Rapide, especially if it comes with these two.

I think I'd buy a lightly used uber-sedan before I bought a new one as depreciation takes a hard hit and fast.
