Porsche Panemera Bests CTS-V's Ring Time

strap a turd onto a rocket and shoot it around the Nurbergringydingy and it's still a fast ugly smelly turd. Much like the Panamera.

The failamera is growing on me too, and there is no question about the level of engineering and chassis competence. But the $$$? I mean, come on. Hardly anyone could afford one.

I would get a CTS-V, I suppose. The styling is really, really bad though. Performance is spectacular, but I would not spend 60k on one. why not pony up 10 more G's for an E90 or IS-F or AMG if you can stand the auto box??

and what is the Caddy gonna look like after 50,000 miles? is there anyone who thinks that it is going to have the build quality of the AMG, M3, ISF?

the only way the Caddy works is to pay 35k for one in a few years when theoretically the M3's will be a lot more $$. But Caddy needs to sell NEW cars, not be used market fodder like they are already with their horrific depreciation.

and lastly, why do they keep comparing it to the 5 series and not a 3?

Because Caddy aimed for the 5 with the new CTS, they are coming with a smaller Caddy for the 3 series size

The CTS size is actually about the same as the 5, not the 3
