| 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!

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".
