I had a Panamera Hybrid loaner 10 days ago and,as a driver, felt cramped compared to the Cayenne,and don'tt get me started on the underpowered engine,weaker brakes and mushy steering(okay,it was interesting driving around the club using only electric power:up to 12 mph)
4 months ago I decided to surprise her by picking up my mother at the airport in that same loaner..first thing she said after we drove off:"comfortable,but smaller,and I much prefer your Cayenne" And with the luggage she brought along..having much less trunk space was not exactly convenient...

I personally would never do a V6, but for what it is, it's fine. Yeah the brakes were no where near as good as even my S, and like you I didn't care for the "mushy" steering at low speeds.
The PCM it's flat as opposed to angled in the Cayenne, and I find I like the angle in the Cayenne better. Last but not least, I like the interior finish of the Cayenne over the Panamera, seems a bit more luxurious to me.
Don't get me wrong I like the Panamera, but for me the Cayenne fit me better. A big reason is seating for 5 and the cargo room. I would love to have the PDK available though, or heck even the stick 7.

Rep Power: 92 The windshield is stock,it's just the intense south Florida glare off of it that gives the impression that it's tinted..it takes the right angle and light for a pic to show both the clear windshield AND the tinted windows

I was just curious about the effect of the GIAC tune at higher speeds
Probably good for another couple of mph..maybe 180
It definitely pulls stronger,due primarily to max boost being up to 1.1 bar from 0.7
The 22s actually felt firmer and more stable than the 20s,with less micro adjustments required

Boost is a major factor for the increase in torque. There is more to it when increasing hp on this car, though.

I think the Porsche crest is there because these wheels(22RG5B) are made by Champion Porsche in Pompano
