I still do not see how I couldn't talk my wife into taking a serious look at your 600-horsepower wagon. If you're driving a hearse as she would say, then go ahead and bury me now. Quickly!
Gorgeous cars. Just gorgeous.

Like pokingaround, I see nothing nothing pedestrian about your wagon. Both are elegant, sporty, and absolutely kick-*** monsters in different ways. You are one blessed man!

It sure is wild that way that the SUV craze has left wagons nearly extinct in this country...

I have a ST E-Hybrid, which had a base price of $104k last year ($106k this year). The new Cayenne E-Hybrid has a base price of $79k; if it had been out last year, I might have chosen that over the Panamera E-Hybrid (but the old S E-Hybrids with 10-kWh battery packs and crappy old computer screens were not remotely interesting to me). The Cayenne is a little more big and bulky than I'd like, and the Panamera a little lower and less practical in terms of cargo space, and my preference would be for a Macan E-Hybrid. But, the Panamera is a blast to drive -- much more fun than any Cayenne!

You may not get as many "Hey man what's that?!" type looks/approaches as in the Porsche, but those who approach you will be car nuts, already in awe of what you're driving! And the sound...don't even get me started!
I came extremely close to pulling the trigger on the AMG because it's such a superior value (IMO) as compared to the Porsche. For $125K MSRP you get a very well equipped, top of the line E63, which in many ways (both engine power and utility) outperforms the Porsche Turbo, whereas that same $125k only gets you a well optioned 'entry level' 4 ST, or a lightly (for Porsche...) optioned 4S ST. The AMG is truly an amazing car. Funny though - I ruffled some feathers over on the MBWorld forums for simply *mentioning* - in a thread about the virtues of wagons - that I had chosen the ST.
Anyway, enjoy your AMG - I'm sure you do!!

Not a fan of the Panamera, and my wife just bought one, and she loves that car. And that other Panamera looks deformed, no wonder they can't sell them. But I'm sure it's a fine car, just not for me. They tried to throw one at us too when we were shopping. Ugh.
