TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Maserati Quattroporte performs with some of the verve of a sports car, and aims to make new converts from those who drive stodgy luxury cars.

The 2013 Porsche Panamera continues the success of the brand's unusual-looking fastback sport sedan.

TCC Likes

Unmistakable styling
Excellent performance and handling
Luxurious, coupe-like interior

Supercar power (Turbo and Turbo S)
Excellent PDK gearbox
Confident handling and high-speed stability

TCC Dislikes

Interior is short on space
Some incongruous materials inside
Small trunk

Styling misses the mark from some angles
Button-busy center console
Driving feels almost synthetic due to numerous aids
