535d humbles Porsche Panamera

Autocar has just done a head to head of the Porsche Panamera Diesel v the the 535d - issue 27 July.

Their verdict - "We're recording a victory for BMW over its more aristocratic neighbour, on the grounds that no diesel-fuelled saloon offers more sheer speed and amusement than a 535d. Not even a Porsche."

No surprise, the Panamera diesel is so lame.
I really don't understand why Porsche doesn't get a proper uber diesel from Audi.

Anyway, the 535d still is the daddy!

I'm not so sure. A fully loaded 535d is a serious alternative for the Panamera D.
However the Panamera D (or Cayenne D) is simply too weak ass.
I mean, even a Golf GTD diesel is quicker, why bother to buy the Porsche?

Because it is a porsche... there is no substitute ... that's what they said
I'm not saying 535d is an inferior car to panamera in terms of performance or value, but I don't think we also be bothered when being compared to honda/toyota.
