[QUOTE=BrendanC;7348190]I see alot of potential in the pana. I see it as a car that many many people will despise ]because of pre-conveived notions of what a sedan is supposed to look like.[quote/] agreed.
Not sure I agree with this though.... 4Ss run from ~$100k-to$150k; considerably higher than the E55. Within the last couple weeks I sold our 2005 E55 Estate w/30k miles for $37k...... I hope you're wrong about the depreciation curve though - I don't think they're going to drop like the AMG cars. $40k might be a little optimistic (as a buyer of course). Hopefully it will not be as steep as most AMGs..... Cayennes have held up pretty well - at least the GTS has.
For this reason, it will probably depreciate like a stone dropped through a black hole. It seems to have a great chassis, and the engine of course is wonderful too. Up that boost!
It will probably be about 40k in a few years like the 99k E55s from 2006 are now 25k. Thats perfect. And my wife likes cars that are shaped like Jelly Beans anyway.

Coupe pic in #1 post looks much better. 928 isn't prettiest car around though.

Sorry but "news" like this...." the V6-powered Panamera, pictured, and Panamera 4 will become the new entry point to the automaker's four-door Gran Turismo lineup. Both models will be powered by a new 3.6-litre V6 ...." Does not bode well for being a collector car. Even if it does make 300 hp

Whom ever owns that Panamera in the parking lot has a big set of nads with a POS 4X4 sitting next to it. The redneck yahoo would probably slam his door against it cuz its a "furrin" car. Quite frankly, If I didn't owe almost 7 digit $$$ on my restaurant, I'd buy a Panamera too! You go Chucky, and enjoy the machine!

Honestly, for the most part, people in SoCal are very thoughtful when they themselves also own a newish car. Now - this statement is invalid if you go much more west of the 15 freeway, or in the case of the 10 - go much past pomona.

Where this parking lot is - the car is perfectly safe.

Especially when Aston can get THIS SOOOOO right:

I had the opportunity to see 4 of them come thru here last winter, still disguised - but I knew what they were. I talked to the German guys driving them, and they were coy about it but glad to see somebody who knew what they were. I like the 4 door okay - it does grow on you, especially when you see it in person. I love the color you picked Chuck - it really flatters the car IMHO.

Maybe the Aston is the spiritual successor to the 928 - look closely at the pic Brendan posted and you'll see a crack in the pod

They did mount it upside down though.
(I do sorta like having the red brake/tail elements up on top)

As for the AM Rapide, at nearly twice the cost of our P4S there is HUGE a price for the beauty of that car. AM are much more likely to depreciate at a faster rate than the Porsche in my opinion. Look at the DB9; you can get a $200k 2009 for ~$125k or less right now.....

Lucky guy! I posted right away that I like this car and would buy one if I could. At the same time I have to say that a shortened 2-door version will be no future 928. To do that they (Porsche) need to do what they did in the 70's - start with a clean sheet of paper...
