Leno Reviews the "Poorsch" Panamera
After being at Laguna Seca with all the Porsche people & cars, you'd think
the correct pronunciation would evolve, besides he owns a Carrera GT!
Also, the video is used on the Porsche Face Book site to promote the
Panamera, i.e. Maybe Porsche's cash flow problems have constrained Porsche
Marketing. Leno's just the guy to get a review from, please! Hopefully
Porsche does well irrespective of his review (?) and/or his 'off-the-wall' comments:

It looks much better in a video than on a picture 
The car is actually growing on me but for what it's designed for it looks very nice.
I'm sure it will be a best seller like the cayenne.
We need these kind of cars to finance the GT3/2's

Weak sauce. When Jay is passionate about cars it truly shows in his voice and expressions, in this video he was trying to be cordial and pleasant and not tell the Poooorsh PR guy (David) riding with him that the car is exciting as cold Oat meal.

Another car that no one asked for...If Porsche doesn't look out, they'll become another BMW.

I'll go against the majority.
I'd buy the year two production model, but not the introduction model. I don't necessarily like the rear but I'd consider a Panamera. I need a 4 door car and this is an option for me. A black debadged turbo should take care of picking up groceries very well. I always have the SC and 993 when I need a real sports car fix; but a four door sedan that can get 20 mpg and 4 second 0-60 times is right up my alley.
I'll see how the price of a low mileage used one looks in about 3 years; about time I have to replace the M5.

It was obvious Jay didn't care for it.
I am not sure why so many on here slam it so much. It is NOT a sports car. It's a luxury sedan, designed to compete with higher end Mecedes and BMW models. I hope it does well. And personally, I think the interior is perfect. I will admit the rear is sort of awkwardly large.
I have heard from others that photos don't do it justice and that it looks way better in person.

Lot's of back-handed comments..oh it's a porsh, feels like a porsh. Didn't seem impressed with launch control. I agree, luke warm at best. Considering the cars Jay has, it's pretty hard to impress the guy. Doesn't he have a Lamborghini Countach as a daily driver.
