Yes, that actually surprised me - I almost dropped my organic protein shake on my artisan black hoodie with a bright green company logo.

Só they finally found a way to dump ultra expensive Panameras. Create a VIP+ program and sold only to those fortunate clients.

lets hope this isn't true - I don't want to be forced to make this decision.

Interesting. Another way to meet their environmental quota too.

I hope they have the standard sedan too. Not a stationwagon fan. I told my dealer to put me down for a Panamera Turbo S a couple of weeks ago.

Default Are we heading back to hot hatches?

Maybe I'm getting old but it's interesting to see what appears to be a cycle coming around again: hot hatch -> SUV -> cross-over -> sport wagon -> hot hatch again! Take the new Pan shooting break and shorten it a bit and we have a super hot hatch. I wouldn't mind a modern take on a 944 or 968!

I recall reading that 297 918s were sold in the US.

I don't understand the market for this.
I agree 100%. No idea how these things made it off the drawing board.

Hey Phil, many of the popular Youtubers flip cars often, so they can have new content for their channels. The business model seems to be buy new exclusive car, make lots of videos, generate views, likes and subscribers, then flip for profit. Flippers with a twist.

Turbo S Hybrid sedan is coming in next few months (maybe announced at Geneva)
Sport Turismo Wagon is definintely being announced at Geneva, and the Turbo S Hybrid version of it is being announced around October ,and will be for sale shortly after.
This much I know for sure.

No VIP programme in Europe, but I am getting a Sport Turismo anyway. Very likely the hybrid version, maybe just the Turbo S - it depends on exact specs. Either way, expect to have it this year.
It's an upgrade from a (very good) RS6 for family stuff, and I like the new version, in contrast to the original one.

The traction the brand has gained over the past 4 years, I honestly don't see the need for a VIP programme to sell cars. I can see a VIP programme of sorts for GT cars that remain with owners though.

Forgive me for asking but where did the name "Shooting Brake" come from?
