More likely than not you will have a ZF8 and AWD in the G81 vs the Panny’s PDK and optional AWD.

My point is not that you should go and buy the Panny it’s more that if you want a cool fast wagon that is not a crappy Benz( personal opinion) they already exist but hardly no one buy them when it comes down to it.

I fully understand BMW’s hesitation to bring them over.
