BMW needs to learn the lesson from Porsche. If you are a performance brand, you need to sell performance automobiles. For Porsche, the PHEV in the Panamera family is the top of the line, not the underpowered bottom.

Shame.
That said, the top of the line Panamera Turbo Hybrid is slower than an M5C, so it seems the so called hybrid performance add-ons actually reduced the performance.

I’d rather then have it on the low end of the spectrum, for fuel economy.
