I'm told my mother is 39 but since I'm 47 I get confused on the issue.
I wondered about the Maser reliability....hmmm. She likes the Jags because she had several sedans back when the design was IMO nicer. OTOH, the Jags weren't terribly reliable back then including the one that spontaneously combusted (thank God it was in the driveway and not the garage!).
Sport Chrono....yes, I will make sure of that.
One of the dealers here is selling the 2010 cars for about 20% off which seems like a good deal.

Lol, well..she should definitely drive one and see for herself. I can't say anything bad about the E63, but I feel the Panamera has much more presence on the road. Ultimately, it is a very personal decision.

that's funny right there!BTW, I've had a Quattroporte too. If the feel of Italian leather, the Italian design components that make it beautiful and the sound of that Ferrari engine is enough for someone, I'd say it's a great car. If you need all the electronic gizmos is what you need the QP will disappoint.
We have a P4S coming in this month and I cannot wait.....

I've ordered a Pan4 for my wife.
Mercedes E doesn't do anything for us. It looks boring. Same as the other 4 doors sedans out there.

Love my P4S which I have had for 3 weeks and almost 1K miles. Starting to push it a little bit, I really love it, and the way it sounds with the PSE is intoxicating. Get lots of compliments on how stunning it is, despite those who feel otherwise, and I am very happy with it.

Interesting array of responses!
She has a MB SUV right now and I think the issues she's had with the car have turned her off to the brand. That said, she has a gorgeous red '71 280SL.
She is going to look at and test the Panny some time this week.
I guess my vote would be for the Porsche since I've consumed a ridiculous amount of the Kool Aid and ain't going back.
Decisions, decisions.
