it looks like it may well hold as much or more than a cayenne

too bad you can't get 8 plus inches of clearance for those winter snow plow banks.

Is it the best car in it's class?
Or are you buying a badge?
Will a Honda Accord give more trouble free years?
Toyota Camery?
Lexus?
Acura?

Those questions apply to any brand purchase from Rolex to Roto-Rooter -- why not go generic, save money up front and not get fooled by alleged "value?"

By the way, I saw a Lexus GS outside Fry's the other day -- it looks so much like the rear of the Panamochachino, it's not funny! From the rear quarter, in daylight, the hatch lines are noticeable and the rear is "bulbous" for want of an even more unflattering description.

I was surprised to read it is 6-7 inches LONGER than a Cayenne in the recent Panorama. It'll be interesting to see if this means much better rear leg room and/or more cargo room in square feet, not cubic feet.

If you knew Porsche JDPowers ranking; you'd not be making that statement.

Function over form. If it is a great drivers car I am sure I will have no problem with it.

It's on my wish list. It will look very nice in the garage next to our 997.

It will have to replace the Lexus LS430 the wife drives every day though!

My wife and I took a 911 couple to dinner.
They loved the performance and the fact that we all traveled together - a proper 4 seater Porsche is a different zen than a 911.
A Mclaren SLR and an SL500 are still both a MB.

Now the Panamera GT - now that will be the schizzle!
