Apparently the Panamera refresh will be more driver focused.
In my short list down select journey that ended with my 2020 M850i coupe I test drove a Panamera GTS and found it not as fun to drive as the M850i. I also was iffy on the overall look of the car as well but it was more appealing than the earlier Panamera models.
Agree on pre 2021 pre LCI Panamera. Didn't like how it drove. The new one flew around the ring, has more power, significantly improved its steering and handling and seems to have righted many of the Un Porsche like issues of the model year 2017-2020. Time will tell it's also a lot more money than the M850 and M8
