Exclamation MotorTrend: BMW X6 M vs CTS-V Wagon vs Porsche Panamera Turbo


http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...rbo/index.html

1st Place: Porsche Panamera Turbo
Have you ever wondered what Zeus would drive? Stop wondering. Start lusting after the world's best four-door supercar.


2nd Place: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon
This is a supercharged, 556-horse-power, 551 pound-feet of torque, rear-drive station wagon-with a manual. Prayers do get answered.


3rd Place: BMW X6 M
Earns its M badge in every aspect save one: desirability. More a historical footnote than anything else.

Why would they compare a SUV an estate and a sedan against each other?

In the article's headline, they say "we sample a trio of the worlds weirdest cars".

Certainly "something less than top notch in terms of appearance", it's a pretty ugly lot. But all 3 have the potential to post some impressive/big depreciation numbers in first 3 years.

the X6 is hardly an SUV. it's way too small / low / not a towing vehicle, etc.
i believe bmw calls 'em SAVs?

regardless, panamera is the world standard for 4 real seat sport sedans.

I thought the X6M would come out on top. I like the design of the X6, to me, the X6 is how the X3/5 should've looked like from the beginning.

It looks nice, and with the whole M thing, surprised to see it come last. The panamera looks nice. That's probably the only porsche I'd buy (if I can afford it, lol).

I'm a sedan guy, not into coupes, and SUVs aren't on the top of my list.
