Out running around this morning and spotted a dark gold one.
God are they bad.
Looks like bloated road kill.
The rear end looks like it has air shocks set too high.
Way too wide.

I have yet to see one in person... interested to see if the local dealers have any yet [not that I can afford one].

Usually the local Porsche dealer has a PCA unveiling when they get something new in... hoping for the same with this one. I drove by the other day but could not see in to tell if they had received their first one yet...

I have to run to Fort Worth on Thursday [via the Tollway], tempted to run by Boardwalk and see if I can sneak a peak.

Truth ... the Panamera is a hump back ... the 928 is a timeless beauty ...

I saw one in the "service section" of the Porsche Museum in May. Couldn't see it very well, nor take a picture, but it did not overwhelm me with it's visual attractiveness!! But, then again, the Cayenne has never overwhelmed me either, but there were a LOT of them on the roads in Germany. I swear I saw more Cayennes during the ~1000 miles of driving than I did Porsche sports cars. And, as reported earlier on another string - NO 928's.
