Different league? No...
Bentley has nothing in that price range...
Porsche has the fantastic 992. Awesome car if you like the 911 design and want a sports car. The M8 or 8 series is a GT, so no match.
Porsche also gets pricey and the closest match at this time is a loaded S or 4S. The M8 has no issue competing here on the performance side.
But I wouldn't call Porsche in a different league; just a different type of car.
For non-911's, the Panamera is not better in any way. Even matches the BMW in soft sales and eye watering depreciation |
I think people who buy an Aston have different priorities compared to someone that buys a 911. Again, Porsche has no issues selling $130,000 Cayenne's, 911's, Macan's, or Panameras. The 8 series is just sitting on lots. :shrug: I would absolutely say Porsche is in a different league compared to BMW.
