For my taste, it is very luxurious but not as good as the offerings from the other German brands. It's as if it's trying to be better than an M5 in 7-series attire and compromising in the process.

Amazing what turns these threads can take. Are you tired yet from the inquisition? Did the kid have all required body parts, etc... sometimes this forum wears me out.

I waited 2 hours at the dealer and worked remotely on my laptop while she checked in the car. It is incredible driving a $100k rental car with 56 miles... for $0. My girlfriend and I had a blast exploring the mountains to the beaches of San Diego in this awesome car!

Sapphire Blue FTW!!!

I haven't posted any yet, but I am glad that I am not the only Porsche nerd that takes photos of all of his loaner cars!

My dealership nowadays use base Cayennes for loaners. But over time, it was all over the map. Searching my computer, I found a couple of pictures. You guys be the judge. Note: One of the loaners was during a period when the dealership used Enterprise

My 23 year old gearhead daughter always checks out the loaners Porsche gives me. She drives them too. Porsche Nerdiness runs in this family.

Great to hear!

When I last went to Silverstone Porsche Experience Centre, I took my 21 year old daughter to share the session. She had a blast in a 718 Boxster!

Ended up with this same car yesterday Panamera 4, here in PA, after dropping my wife’s Macan S for service. I have to say I really liked it. AWD drove really well both on the highway and backroads. Nice change from the usual Cayenne I get.
