It will be lighter than the panamera.. it will be a higher model than the 911... the panamera sedan turbo can hit 60 MPH in 3.9 seconds... so this car (might even have more powerful versions of the V-8's than the more conservative panamera) should be mid-3's with the DSG transmission.. which means from 0 to 100 MPH it should be quicker than most other competitors...

Would any of you consider buying one of these instead of a CL or Aston Martin or Bentley GT coupe?

I think it looks like a jag... I would take a V8 Vantage...

C55 AMG, CLK550
I had a 928S years ago. IMHO it was Porsche's best kept secret on how good it was. I did the Silver State Classic Challenger in a 928. Damn that was fun... 92 miles flat out...

It depends.
It depends on few things;
interior layout. Panamera's dashboard is s helplessly cluttered compared t my CL,
gas tank has to be bigger than 911,
has to be as comfortable on long trips as CL,
the back too closely resembles Jaguar/AM, has to be altered,
and of course has to be test driven to final judgement.

BTW, 928 was my favorite car 25 years ago. Lots of good memories (chick magnet).

You would have to take two and switch between repairs
