Umm, how relevant is this considering the huge price differential?

Aston - It is just a DB9 with extra doors - boring and unimaginative.
Karma - Is stunning inside and out - but I want a real engine with those looks, not some electric mess. I so hope they use a BMW I6 or MB V8 to power "other" versions of the car.
Jaguar - It really doesn't fit here as much and some interior pieces are cheap, engines could be better - otherwise a good car.
Lambo - Not sure about yet. Need to see it in person.
CLS - Nothing wrong here, but it has aged.
Porsche - Just plain ugly right now. Looks like a elongated 911.
CC - My choice, right price, lovely interior and a surprise stunner on the road.

Mr Siko, thanks for the great poll. May I just add though that I believe the XF to be too mainstream and too saloon-like to cut it as a "saloupe" in this ensemble. I believe a Maserati Quattroporte to be a more fitting inclusion based on its great looks, exclusivity and outright sportiness.

The profile shot of the Panamera in this company shows just how close it is to a long hatchback is it. Even a fastback descriptor is flattering.
In my opinion the Aston Rapide is most successful at integrating classic elegance with 4 door coupe-like proportions.

On looks alone, the humble VW beats all the other prestigious contenders.
Volkswagen should get their hands on the Audi S4's 3.0 TFSI engine and make an "R" version of the CC; 333 Bhp + four-wheel-drive + DSG + coupé-ish looks = Quite a combination, I reckon.

Estoque: Concept that will NEVER be built.
CLS: The pioneer, I bow down to greatness but the headroom in the rear is too cramped.
Passat CC: Superb design and value for money, no shame in driving that one.
Rapide: A stretched DB9 with tiny rear doors and head room for midgets in the rear. No thanks! Save yourself from compromises and buy a DB9 or Quattroporte.
Panamera: The most sensible choice. A Four door car created in true German automobile spirit, functional and promises high performance. It sounds awesome, will drive awesome, looks awesome and best of all can comfortably transport four adults unlike the other cars and concepts in this poll. Lastly it will sweep the floor with all other four door cars in the performance department. I prefer cars with substance over anything. Vanity never lasts long.

-I voted CLS, still a stunning car. It impresses me everytime.
-As second, well... The Panamera. I really like it, it's maybe not coupe-ish or really gorgeous, but it's a typical Porsche and I like that.
-Third: the splendid Lambo. Really looks fantastic, this thing.
-Fourth: the Rapide. It's far behind. Unimaginative, already dated. I adore the Astons, the DB9, V8, Vantage are all extraordinary. But this one is messed-up.
-Last: the Passat. I saw it IRL, in various colours with various rims. Never managed to convince me a bit. It just doesn't do anything to me, nothing. I'll take a Scirocco over a CC in a heartbeat, thank you.

Naah I'm an atheist so I don't worship anything. You guys are talking as if Porsche hav unleashed the monster inside me..............which is exactly what they have done
You can call me two face. I'm still a full member in the MB fanboy club though so I'm no more biased than all the other hardcore fanatics here.

Aston Martin Rapide: As funky as the diesel Cayenne, not my type! 
Fisker Karma: Generic looks & a complete (doner car) build-up, I'll never pay such money for a kit-car... sort of!
Jaguar Xf: Yes, it's a good looking sedan but, it's not a coupe-ish 4-door car at all mike!
Lamborghini Estoque: Most-weird Lambo ever! They should stop thinking about anything beyond 2-door & 2-seats!
Mercedes-Benz Cls-Class: The real segment leader & a proper coupe-ish sedan & Cls-63 Amg for me please!
Porsche Panamera: Porsche's designers should stop rocking hard-core shit immidiately on week/working days!
Volkswagen CC: Closest thing to Cls in this segment & also a great-looking sedan!
My choice: Mercedes-Benz Cls followed by the Passat-Cc!

I voted for the Volkswagen Passat CC. A very lovely car. I like it more than the CLS to be honest.
