Easy choise, the Panamera!

Both cars feature some great design both exterior and interior and great performance. But the Panamera is from another planet. Awesome driving dynamics and a engine that is delivered from God himself. Sorry, but there is no much to this car!

I would pick the Turbo too, but it is almost twice the price of the XFR. A better comparison would have been the Panamera S and I am not so sure anymore.

Went for the Panamera. I'm starting to like the looks, and the interior is amazing.

All I really want is an M3. So I'll take the Jag and use the change to buy something truly special.

I'll have to go with Jag here! Imho, Panamera is the ugliest Porsche ever built & the price difference is huge!

And a wonderful kitty she is...

This is really a hard decision. On one hand I would rather the Porsche just for "show off purposes". Not to mention of love the look and design of the interior. The again I still hate the idea of it being a hatchback.

The XFR Looks good on the inside and now. It may not be as exotic as the Porsche, but it has the overall package. I would have to go with as Dunkel said, "the kitten".
