The Panamera is different and to anyone who has sat in or driven one you will instantly notice this, it's THAT apparent.

The steering wheel on BMW cars is something I can relate too, I didn't like the thickness of the M3 wheel but did get use to it after time, but I'm glad to be back to a wheel which isn't quite as thick. I actually find the Porsche wheel to be a little too thin for my liking but each to their own.

When the fit and finish is body panels and mechanical then I'm wholeheartedly in agreement but I will maintain that prior to the Panamera the rest don't have the best interior parts, in fact I would put a £25K Audi TT ahead of a £65K Porsche for interior quality and that includes everything that's in the interior.
