I have a client who can't understand why I love driving my car so much. So I described a sport package BMW as 1/2 Mercedes and 1/2 Porsche. He didn't like my reference. His wife drives a Benz and despite never driving BMWs they feel that the Mercs are simply the best. And, he has always dreamed of getting a 911.
I think its a good explanation for someone who has never driven one (granted BMW sedans don't have the specialized engineering of a 911, but the cayenne holds no cards on the X5 from an engineering point of view).
Lets see how the Panamera V6 performs and that will be a good test of Porsche sedan engineering prowess.
I'm sticking to my explanation. I think it's fair.
Do you agree?
