Well, I live in a snowy climate, so my vote is Cayenne Turbo.

Well, seeing as you live in the UAE, I'm thinking snow is probably the least of your worries...

My vote would go for the Panamera on this one. Test drove one a couple of weeks back. Wicked.
The looks? Well, again, eye of the beholder!

If your choice is between the panamera and the Bimmer...I would take the Bimmer. I hate the panamera.

I have had the 750li and have test driven a panamera. I was very bored with my 750li and sold it after 8 months. The panamera seemed to have all the luxury and comfort I wanted in a lux/sports sedan but it had great handling and nimbleness that the competition cant duplicate. IMO you must have a fixed wing placed on the back to make it tolerable looking, I have seen examples of panamera's with the fixed wing and it makes them look great. But, overall you must drive them back to back to see what has the feel your looking for. Both great cars!

I wouldn't get caught driving a panamera for anything. I wouldn't buy it for 1/2 the price even. It does drive well but that butt is just FUGLY.

Panamera without a single doubt. The Bimmer is too boring.

You may hate the looks but wait 'til you drive one. Anyway, you can't see how it looks once you're inside it.

If you're just looking for a cruiser I have a MB V12 and that's hard to beat...until you get to the twisties.

I'm at the Porsche school in Birmingham and drove a Panamera on a skid pad today. Pretty impressive for big car, fast and handles well. Gorgous interior. Still looks funny on the outside, but drives unbeliveable.

Two completely different vehicles IMO. The bimmer is more of a cruiser where the Panamera is a lot sportier. So, it depends what you're after
