Large Luxury Showdown: Which Are You Taking Home? Quattroporte Vs. Panamera S Vs. 750i

In this turn of the luxury sport sedan showdown, there is a rather interesting addition to the mix. The Maserati Quattroporte.

Usually, this sedan is quickly passed over by most and is not even mentioned in a competition.

These three choices all represent different flavors, more or less. The Maserati is really something unique and a special piece of machinery, but it's electronics are questionable as is its build quality. It sure does sound great though; it has the exhaust note of a proper Ferrari.

Then you have the oddball Panamera. A polarizing design, some like it some hate it but there are several things you can count on: it has a mindblowing interior, its build quality is top-notch and it will never be called bland.

Last but not least is the BMW 750i. Although it is the least adventurous of the three, it is a steadfast performer with killer looks and a solid interior. With the best technology out of the bunch, this car will get the job done over and over again.

So, choose your weapon Spies.

love them all for very different reasons....

the quattroporte is seriously sexy and sounds soooo good, but the interior is weak.

the panamera is the performer and that interior is stunning, but it's a quirky looking exterior. maybe i'll grow to love it.

i'd take the bmw for a daily driver. all around best balance in my opinion. solid performance and by far the most comfort and convenience.

cousin has 750li drove it and absolutely LOVED it, neighbor had a quattroporte for 8 months and said it was ok-pretty, but too bumpy, got rid of it and went back for his 3rd range rover supercharged.
residual is just horrible on the maserati.

went to porsche, i personally loved the way it looked, cousin hated it and said " im not spending 100k on a station wagon"
i definitely think the bmw is the best bang for the buck, great performer, by far more reliable than the maserati and will cost less to run than the porsche.
my personal favorite is the porsche, then maserati and then bmw.... i just like what i see less on roads more....

Porsche Panamera Turbo which gets to 0-60 in the low 3 second range, just astonishing for a 4 door car and it happened to be faster around a Japanese track than a 911. I just cannot wait for the Panamera Turbo S which will likely come very close to the 3.0sec range, better than most Ferraris and Lamborghinis in a straightline and its a 4 door....I also would be interested in the pricing on the Rapide....just too sexy to look at!

I've seen a Quatrro, but not the Panamera. These cars, like many women, are out my league. Maybe in another life...

You need to be more positive, if you believe they are out of your league then they are, if you believe they are in your league and you can work hard, make a better living and take massive action to get the right resources then you can have a car like this! This will also help you get laid more! Be Confident, own it, stay positive, never give up.

that is a really crappy way of thinking. you've already excluded yourself, because you told yourself that it's 'out of your league.' that's the thinking of a loser. you should at least believe that you can have and do anything you want. it begins with you, who else will ever believe in you if you don't? I'm disgusted.

My choice would be the Quattroporte it ceratainly isnt the best car here, but at this price point the panamera just looks frumpy, and the 7 by comparison to the quattroporte is to cold and unexciting. The maserati has the looks sound and performance at this price point thats the clear winner for me anyway.

the BMW is the better overall car though it just makes alot more sense than the other 2.

Quattroporte is the sexiest, and will get you laid more... Quattroporte is also the best looking and has the nicest leather... Quattroporte is ot claiming to be a race car with 4 doors, it is an honest grand touring car that is comfortable and has an optional spare tire!!! What a concept!
