I drove both an S550 coupe and an S63 AMG coupe before year-end 2015 and, although I did like the cars, I just couldn't get past the column-mounted shifter. Felt a little 1980s-era Buick / Oldsmobile to me. Out of place for such a nice GT.

When it gets down to it, there just aren't a lot of good options out there. Might just do a RR sport SC and then try and pickup a 911 of some capacity in the summer.

Guys currently I have at home these cars
M6 GC 2015 Gl350 cdi 2015 Xj l supersport 2015 And a S550l 2010(i think) In the past year I've also had a RRS Supercharged and a jaguar xfr-s and xkrs Each car is totally unique, personal preference for me is the m6, it's my first m car and I'm enjoying it infinitely. It's the only one out of the above lot that I feel you can have a connected drive. It's a car to drive, not to be driven in. The Xjl is without a doubt a stunning car, mine is pretty well specced as well and I was surprised by how effortless it is. It's a good balance between the s and the m. Great seats, good power just a bit wallowy. S, good car to be driven in, not a fan otherwise. Gl hate it (needed 7 proper seats) RRS, it's a great machine, Svr would be better as I would imagine that it wouldn't lag as much as the RRS. Good luck finding one without any issues though. Mean creaked and groaned like hell. Xfrs and xkrs were absolutely nuts. A bit dated interior wise but nuts to drive. New version of xf doesn't have an rs out yet otherwise I would have probably gone for that instead of the m6! Any pics or questions you would like let me know! |

Exclusive - In boost to self-driving cars, U.S. tells Google computers can qualify as drivers
Once this come true, I really like to buy myself another 7 series with self-driving cars feature and do European delivery. BMW really want to define what is a luxury car. |

What did you end up with or are you still on the hunt?

Still on the hunt. Revisited the 7 and started to think with the M sport pack, it might get the job done but I can't get passed the fact that I don't think it has the presence that an S class with a sport pack does. It doesn't look like a car worth 110k. I just wish the S class was a bit more engaging to drive.
QP looks too much like a ghibli, which I don't think very highly of. S8 I like, but don't love, and it is soon to be replaced. Kinda thinking of throwing in the towel on the all wheel drive, as i really like the m6 GC, but then I can't sit 4 adults comfortably in the car as the back of the GC is tight. Curious as to what the new panamera will look like, but having owners 3 911's, getting any other kind of Porsche is a little bit of mental hurdle for me. I'm at a loss.

S is out for me since I'd have to wait a year and a few months for the LCI. When is the new Panamera due?

I hear they are from the ground up redesigning the series. I was less than impressed with the s8 plus overall and that's after driving one for the better part of an afternoon last March.

I like the new Panamera a lot - and think it may be the answer. Huge improvement to previous generation. Actually resembles a 4 door 911 now.
