each to their own on the looks.

on the performance - the GTS is miles ahead and there is next to no media coverage that even suggests otherwise.

It has everything I was looking for!
I took delivery last weekend in Las Vegas and spent a couple of days touring southern Utah. So far I'm extremely happy with my purchase. The car is currently on a truck and I should get it in a few days.
Thanks again for everyone's input.

Now I'm considering a used Panamera 4S or Turbo instead of the S7. I have an '07 Cayman S, and I think with the Panamera I could punt my Cayman and my winter beater and have just one car do double duty all year long. My needs are 4 doors for the family, AWD for the winter, and a bit of performance for me!

Has anyone driven the S7 and the Panamera back to back? What did you think? I've driven the Panamera 4 as a loaner car and was quite impressed with how it performed, but think I would want a bit more power.

Any impressions or thoughts are appreciated!
