Poll Audi RS7 or BMW M6 Gran Coupe or Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG or Porsche Panamera Turbo?

[Levi68]

Why is the Panamera in this poll? I thought it was above 5 Series/A6/E Class?

Well, it's(Panamera) the real competor of the 5-series/A6/-E-Class.

Yes, RS7 and Panamera are more hacthbacks (fastbacks to be more precise) - which is very distinct in shape and form from a coupe.

As for conventional trunk, look at any number of modern front engined coupes - they all have a conventional trunk - be it a Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Corvette.

exactly, only thing that makes cls and a7 look diffirent from sedan is hatch like trunk, but that doesnt make it a coupe. While 6er gc is literally just 6er coupe with two more doors

Aha! They may share the same underpinnings (e.g. Evoque & Freelander also RR Sport & Disco) but the differentiation factors in engineering, trim, quality of materials, upgrades and setup (not to mention the engines, uprated brakes and in some cases product specific transmissions, handbuild engines and market placing) and price if you must. Does return with the logic of "in another class"

Hence then the different naming A7, CLS, M6 and premium that sets them apart and get me an you to pay Panamera money for e'm.

Because the Panamera Turbo (500 hp) is low on power compared to the others.

The Panamera Turbo is priced in the same range as the others unlike the Turbo S

OMG look at all those exclusive options. No way on earth a Panamera is worth 270K. That is ridiculous. Do you have pics of the car itself? I would love to see where all that money went.

M6 GC, That design....Oh LLlAAAWWDDDYYYY. Those wheels....

Actually he is right because Porsche are currently preparing a true A6/5/E-class rival.

Here are pics of that $270K Panamera Turbo S

This a true, one of a kind vehicle, the only one in the world. It has taken a year to get approval for all the customizations from the factory. It is a custom 3-layer paint color developed by the customer, which required extensive testing by Porsche and required the car to be shipped to a separate paint facility since 3-layer paint cannot be accommodated as a regular process (cost of $10,000). Every leather option is hand stitched in red, also a "special wishes" customization package not available on any order guide. The car was air freighted from Leipzig directly to Chicago.

Doesn't looks worth the money. IMO. I'd get an FF for that money.

LOL. Yes, base price of FF starts after € 260.000.

 

[Merc1]

A 270k Panamera and a 330K FF, what expensive cars.

[mini_cooper4]

IMO there's only one car in the world that has it all - M6GC
The M6 coupe is IMO the best GT of all time... the best car to take on a long journey(if you can afford the fuel consumption)

 

[Pgor]

I am a cls63 owner so I may be biased here but I think the car looks much better than the other cars in person. Those awkward profile lines that appear in some pictures disappear in real life, especially with a lowered cls as is the case for my ride.

 

[Pgor]

 

[Levi68]

I found out the 6er GC/M6GC also has some awkward angles. I think none of them are perfect, not even the Rapide. Best ones are those that havn't made it to production, the BMW CS and the Lamborghini Estoque.

 

[Pgor]

Yeah, a coupe profile and large sedan format are fundamentally at odds. I have worked hard with my mods to make my cls appear smaller than it actually is. It certainly drives much smaller than it is but it is no M3 Sedan (my last car was an E90 M3).

I am very interested to see how the upcoming small high performance coupe sedans look in person (i.e. MB CLA 45 AMG and Audio RS3 sedan) to see if the smaller scale does more justice to the coupe sedan concept.

The A3 looks like a coupé by shape but still is a proper sedan. 4 Series GranCoupé might be very interesting. Your CLS AMG looks good. By the way, welcome to GCF.
