I read that Porsche stated that the Panamera was built to be a sportier alternative for BMW 7 and Benz S buyers. It is Porsche's first attempt to build a sedan and I say that they did a stellar job since not only does it successfully do what it was designed to do it also competes well with the 5 and 6 series. I would imagine that a smaller sedan built to compete with the 5 series will like it's bigger brother be able to compete one level down with the 3 and 4 series in everything but price. If the "Pajun" sees production it will shake things up for BMW, Benz and Audi. For me, it will likely be a permanent move to Porsche after almost 30 years with BMW since i don't really like what BMW is doing these days. The F80 could be a return to form but that remains to be seen.
