Porsche Panamera

What do you think of them?

We had our launch on Wednesday night, and nearly 200 people turned up! and they all said that in pictures it looked pants, but int he flesh it looked great!

And being lucky and getting to drive the Turbo one myself, my god does it shift!

Ugly looking thing. Bet it's a capable car though. really interested to see how many they sell. Effectively, its only direct rival is the Maserati Quatroporte I guess.

It's a really classy looking car, but I don't like it right now! It'll probably be a 'grower' though!

Its very decieving, if you get the chance, go to your local dealer, you might change your mind when you see one in the flesh!

not my cup of tea really. I still don't like the Cayenne's either.

Porsche have only made three cars I've actually liked. The old skool 911 (same shape as the "Bad Boys" one - 964?), the 996/997 911's and the current Cayman...

Surely isnt they why people go for them as they are slightly more exclusive than your M5.

Reminds me of a modern-day Citroen SM. In fact, the whole car does in a way.
