My guess is the build quality of the Porsche is better - some have complained about noises in the M5. But the M5 is at the same build level as Audi and Mercedes. I put up with this for all the other strengths. The M5 has a very tangible superiority over every other sedan on the market that is always obvious to you when driving it. The GTS doesn't have that.
I appreciate the input. I vacillate quite a bit on the decision and small things could tip the scale, like...how will I transport my bicycle? A test drive much longer than around the block is what's really needed, but that opportunity will not be offered.
