Yes, but isn't the Panamera a more engaging drivers' car?
Not really, its not terrible, the car drives well and is incredibly composed, but by Porsche standards the car is pretty numb and doesn't differentiate itself from the competition other than the PDK, and above all else its heavy and not completely agile. I'd still say the AMG GT4D is class leader in driving dynamics particularly because of its more engaging handling, the AMG V8, and transmission setup that just feels more raw and agile while driving, however some may find that a downside in this class. Apparently the Panamera refresh will be more driver focused.
