Yes, for me, too (if I owned one)....but clearly not like a Porsche.
it's a shame the panamera is so ugly because it's an unbelievably good driving car for its size, and even not for its size! a noticeable level above the S-class but yes the ride (and especially seat comfort) does suffer in comparison

I don't know. SG seems to praise the Porsche by a lot. Not just in terms of performance, but also the ride. He said with air suspension, Porsche has one of the best ride quality in its class, so I would naturally assume he means against the S and the 7er. I do firmly believe the S probably rides a little better but not by much, while in handling the Porsche would easily run circles around the Merc.

The full active per-wheel system you can get on the turbo S is insanity, seriously. I didn't believe it, it's as drastic as a strut FWD car to a LWB multilink air car level of a change.
No other system is like it, yet....everyone else will catch up but for now it's unrivaled.

I remember SG and his surly mechanic being super impressed by the ride quality of the Cayman GT4. It didn't beat the crap out of them at all. I've never driven a Panamera but I'm assuming it's got great handling for its size.
This is why I always wanted Porsche to offer a mid size sport sedan. It would have the best performance and handling in its class.

They are the best drivers cars by far, if they offered a 12 and a slightly more traditional look would have went that direction. I almost got a 2016 GTS instead of the 4.0 Audi
The top spec with active suspension in a turbo S or a base? It's a massive difference.....and the newest one is insane/on its own level. You have to try to latest one to get it
I drove a 2024 with active suspension. Its nothing like an S Class, much firner, louder and sportier. As it should be,]

If thats "the standard" that should be documented and easy for you to show us.

hands down they've improved it over time but the overall shape is just
also it's a shame only the first gen had that high revving N/A 4.8 engine in the GTS, that is a lovely powerplant right there and those high rpms are just exquisite
Just anecdotal evidence, but since we're talking about the Panamera, my buddy's 2019 Panamera 4s with the V6 Turbo motor just had a valve spring failure. The bill for the dealer to rebuild his engine is 12k. They also offered to by the car off of him as is for 18k. Poor guy spent over 90k on that sucker back in 2021. It of course it gives up right after the warranty ended (he had the certified used car warranty through Porsche).
He decided to sell it himself and just picked up a Lucid Air.
Yes, my friend likes to own highly depreciating liabilities haha.
