Audi RS5

Thinking about it's quite difficult to think of many alternatives once you include the 4wd as a requirement - the C63 AMG and E92 M3 are both rated better than the RS5 but of course are RWD therefore out of the running.

With this in mind it seems the RS5 wins by default, on the assumption that something like a Panemera doesn't do it for you.

You've already had a 997 Turbo so I presume you don't fancy going back there even though it's a better drive than the RS5?

This is such a dilemma, I'm so glad I don't have to worry about which £70k Coupe is best :D

I do like the way it looks.

Panamera is a good car. Driven one hard, and it is roomy. Not the best looking car from the back and the gearchange switches on the steering wheel are very annoying (each switch has up and down shift).

997 Turbo - same comments made for C4S.

Given that you are not exactly short of eye candy in the garage I'd probably have a Panemera over the RS5 - it doesnt look as nice but it's a more 'all round' tool :)

I could live with the looks, but that gearchange is very annoying. Maybe they've changed it. I don't know.
 
I've just looked at the picture you've posted and the one problem for me is that at quick glance it looks like an A5 2.0 TDI S-Line. There is no confusing the Panemera of its price tag.

I think they've swapped the paddles around on PDK cars now?
 
What about a top-end Range Rover? EDIT: OK, so you said good looks and performance.....my bad :)

Out of interest, tempted by the 458 Italia?
