I want the Panamera here, then the E63. We don't get the Audi here.

yeah i just remembered that now,but for some reason i thought the E63 would be slower or on par but gladly it delivers nicely.

I swear the whole A6 family just looks so boring. It's like a big bubble with speed. I hope they jump out that bubble soon. It is just sickening to see it.

So...it would be up to the Porsche and Benz.

Interior - Porsche
Exterior - Porsche
Brand Loyalty - Benz
Engine - Benz
Exclusivity - Porsche

I would have to go with the Porsche...

So the Panamera isn't quite the AMG eater I had imagined it to be. Smaller storage and seating space and rather sinister looking from certain angles, not forgetting ludicrously priced compared to the E63.

On the other hand the E63 features what could probably be the last E Klasse AMG with a high revving V8 and an exhaust note that gives me goosebumps. Porsche can keep their badge and that peculiar dopplekupplung interface, E63 + spare change for me please.

There is one important factor (at least to me): Liveability !

I didn't drive the E63 till now but the C63 is very frustrating to drive. Very stiff suspension and those seats can be less painfull with those side supports. They are very high and very uncomfortable. I am not that chubby but for tall and wide chested people it could be a pain to set in a C63. MB are changing especially in AMG department and I love the progress they made, but they should be more realistic when it comes to everyday usability. I can't see anything wrong with M3 seats and they are far more comfortable yet supportive. And the suspension should have one step more comfortable set up.

I can't believe I picked a Merc over a Porsche, but looks like MB has a winner in it's hands. For how much the turbo costs, it should offer way more.
