certainly looks more attractive and they cleaned up the interior so it is not cluttered with buttons. outside of that i can't say much until i see it in person, drive it, etc.

This is looking a lot nicer than Panny's of the past. I like where Porsche is putting the badge across the back like that....in a spot not typically badged. And the other models too have them there...... of course Porsche pricing is much higher

Porsche really needs to add a proper shooting brake version by pushing the A pillars and cabin rearward and chop off the 2 rear doors.

I'm a Porsche guy, having had four 911s and a 356, so naturally I built a wagon using their configurator and it was $194,000. I'll be sticking with Mercedes when it comes to wagons.

Going off topic for a side question: What's the reason for that grid pattern on the rear window as seen in post #8? I have seen similar on wide variety of car makes.

That's what my rear window looks like when wearing polarized sunglasses. Not visible without them.

Nice results !

Yes the E has more power, but it also costs way less and is faster. When the panny turbo S comes out that will be even more out of the price range.

Over all I think well done merc

Perhaps for the new one, but the current generation Panamera Turbo has massive depreciation, worse than AMGs. However, I agree with you regarding Panameras that have a similar MSRP to the E63.

They were about $200k, and first made available to owners of 918 Spyders. Of course everyone with a 918 bought one, so there were really none available to the general public. Now they're all secondhand and commanding premiums over MSRP. The car is basically a GT3 RS without all the boy racer kit and with a manual transmission. It's probably the greatest street 911 ever built to date.
