Who wants to buy a sedan from Porsche that is not even as good as an M5? I don't get it.

When Porsche first announced the Panamera, they made it sound like a 4 door Carrera GT, with the 605hp V10 and trick suspension. That got my attention. Now the Panamera is starting to sound like the Cayenne sedan, with V6, V8, and V8 turbo. Who wants to buy a sedan from Porsche that is not even as good as an M5? I don't get it.

The Panamera will be better than the M5. Porsche has invested huge amounts of money in the project and while they want to make the Panamera the best performing four door car, they also want return on investment. That is why the Panamera will likely come with Cayenne engine options, although there might be som differences in the output, especially concerning the top of the range model.

The same people who keep lining up for the same cars year after year just because it says "Porsche".
Some of you have been so busy patting Porsche's back that you haven't observed their current business trend: less innovation, more smoke and mirrors.
But as some of you have stated... at least they're profitable. (albeit with our collective money)

The overall top brand, on average, was Porsche (Charts) with 91 problems per 100 vehicles. (The average car in the survey had 125 problems per 100 vehicles.) The Porsche Boxster was the top-ranked "Compact premium sporty car," according to the survey.

Crash...
Let's look at the base performances of...
Cayenne, Cayman, Boxster, & 911. Need I say more?
They've failed to impress with the base models of their entire range. I imagine the base Panamera will follow their footprint of zero R&D. (Cayenne powerplants = very bad V6 version)

Smoke and mirrors? I think Porsche is producing a quality product. Have a look at the latest J D Power rankings:
