Why should I also consider these?
The 2010 Porsche Panamera bridges a gap between traditional four-door sedans and the "four-door coupes" currently in vogue.
Of all cars, it's most like the Maserati Quattroporte, which has marvelous Ferrari-inspired power and tractable handling to go with its bespoke looks.
The Aston Martin Rapide and Jaguar XJ bracket the Panamera's performance with truly stunning looks and lighter-weight aluminum bodies and possibly, with the Aston, more cachet.
Of all, the Panamera behaves most like the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, with scalding power, inspired comfort, and in the case of the Mercedes, a sleekly reformatted body with running gear donated by the stodgier E-Class sedan.
