Default I'm thinking of a Panamera GTS instead of a 991...

As I've posted a few times...I'd like a car that I can enjoy and I can bring the family along. Turns out a baby seat CANNOT be properly fitted to the 997. Yes, I even bought the Porsche car seat...

Seems to me that with the reviews of the 991 and its interior design I wouldn't be far off it with its 4-door equivalent...the Panamera;-)

I'm with you. My next (to add to my cab) will be a Panamera.

I just can't get past the looks (esp. rear 3/4), and recently had a PDK Panny loaner...zzzzzz.

I rather like the looks. Especially the way they have the GTS show car decked out. Looks...exotic?

That said...I'm seriously thinking Cayenne too...

So confused...

It's been a while since I've had babies in a Porsche but I can attest to the fact that three kids under 9 fit nicely in the car and love every minute of it. Pany would OK too but never the same.

I've had four adults (all over 9) in my cabriolet - but you don't want to go for too long a trip that way!

Great shot! Exactly what I'd like to accomplish (though we only have one as yet).

Problem I'm running into is finding a seat that can be installed in accordance with Ontario's installation legislation. The actual Porsche brand seat simply cannot be made to fit tight enough because of the height of the seatbelt receptacle.

So I'm thinking Panamera GTS until he's old enough to be in a booster alone which will probably be 3 years or so.
