Satellite dish w/HD, 50% off first year and after that, still 25% less than my old Comcast package with more channels. Telling Comcast to stuff it? Priceless.

It was a great show and a good education on the car. It made me want to take my 911 out for a spin after watching it.

They clearly know they have a problem. They're trying so hard to align it to the "heritage" of Porsche. Same thing with the commercial. Not interested, thanks.

I agree. I saw the show and the car just didn't do it for me. If I'm going to spend $150K on a sedan (turbo version) it's not going to be the Panamara.......especially knowing I can get the same car for $75K in 3 years due to massive depreciation. I'd rather spend $110K on a 993 Turbo "S" and the other $40K on a 3 year old Jaguar XJR (supercharged engine sedan). This way I have limited downside in depreciation and I have 2 killer cars!

according to these guys you will need a lot more than $110k to get your " 993 Turbo " S " http://www.parkplaceltd.com/inventor...rent=1&size=50

Those guys must be high. These days, it's easy to get a 30K mile 993 Turbo S for under $100K, even in colors like black and silver. I've seen a few lately for sale.

I don't know much about this part of the auto market, but if you wanted a high-end 4 door performance car, what else would you buy?

Anyone else catch the red 993 following the Panemera down the freeway? It's only in the shot for a few seconds.
