Porsche Panamera

Saw one in person for the first time today, and I'm pretty smitten. It looks a bit awkward from the back, but very clean from the front. What dropped my jaw was the cockpit like interior. WOWIE!



Ingrid holds her own, though, despite the sexy body lines of the panamera.

Very cool! How did the back seats look? Roomy?

Unlike the CLS, it looks like I could sit back there without my head hitting the ceiling.

The Panamera is a highly regarded design. Who'd have thought they could make a 911 out of a SUV? Ingenious....

Im thinking it won't drive like an suv.

But if I wanted sporty two seats I would be more attracted to the new Lotus Evola.

Nice. Still its not an S class, no reason to spend $100k on a sedan if it isn't.

It's a sporty four door, four seater. I've only seen one in a magazine and was pretty impressed. I've always thought the Cayenne SUV was just a ridiculous, ugly looking leap for Porsche. A four door sport touring sedan is a bit less of a stretch.

That console looks like you'd have to re-mortgage your home if you spilled a drink into it. Too many buttons and options. All unnecessary.....its no wonder so many drivers are distracted nowadays....between having an internet capable phone and 600 buttons in their car to play with, no one is looking at the road!

Most of the people that drive a car like that have it for a status symbol.....
