So the new CLS is out to challenge the Panamera. Just wanted to know the general opinion from all.

Base on 1) exterior looks 2) interior looks 3) ride and handling 4) performance 5) build qlty 6) overall package.

I go 1st.

1) Cls is v nic. But i still love the pani better ( im bias thou)
2) Pani hands down
3) I hvnt driven the CLS. But i think its v hard for any sedan to surpass the pani in this category
4) no comment
5) porsche.
6) i think the CLS has a better value for money

 

tuff...one...hummmmm Porsche i guess...but the CLS in AMG form is all kinds of killer cool.

 

The CLS in categories 1 and 2, Panny destroys in the rest.

 

That's like comparing Gisele Bundchen and Susan Boyle. No contest...CLS.

 

Panny > CLS

 

both of them...

 

as a previous Panny owner, if strictly from the price point, i'll take the CLS63 over Panamera S. Panamera Turbo is different story though but it's so much more expensive than the CLS...

 

and from ur points:
1) i prefer Panny but it has to have the right options & 20'' up wheel.
2) again, Panny can be better with the right options.
3) Panny feels good. handles awesome for the size. no experience with CLS yet but it can't beat Panny in handling for sure.
4) CLS63 > Panny S.
5) had some minor rattles in the Panny but overall it was good. neck to neck with CLS imo.
6) check my above post.

to add to no.6, u'll have to own, or at least spec a car built by Porsche. u'll be pissed yet amazed how cheap they are.
