Meanwhile, over on the Panamera forum...

And we thought we were having fun debating the relative greatness of various 911 models, 901 to 997...

Quote:

Anyone compare the Burmester to the Bose Sound system?
Anyone use an ipod with them? Does it sound as good as a CD?
Do you have to use Apple Lossless or other lossless encoding or can you use the itunes AAC and get CD sound from the Burmester, or Bose?
Or do you have to use something other than an ipod.
Someone with an Audi said they had full screen function with their ipod touch using the earphone jack along with the dock. Will the Panamera work this way?

Oh my.

I heard they drive pretty good too, but that might just push the OP over the edge...

I am sure they are great cars. Just had a bad week, and was looking to share a laugh!

I would only buy a Panamera if it came with a bag to put over my head...that is the ugliest car to ever wear a Porsche crest...

I actually like them.

Wonder when the first "How do I get FM boot marks off the dash?" thread will be.

TWO BAGS -------> just in case one tore.

WOW, I never thought you'd find something to call uglier than a Cayenne. WAIT! That wasn't YOU that was Larry......

Hi

The thing that gets me about them is just the 4 seats for the size of the thing. Why no rear bench option?

There is no accounting for tastes. How many "dustbuster" vans did Pontiac sell?

Interesting short article in Excellence about the Panamera Turbo. I would scan it but it is at work. Great Autobahn cruiser at a steady 162 mph!

Only wish we had an Autobahn over here. My max on the Autobahn is 154 mph in a '05 997 (fully loaded w/ wife and a car full of luggage).

Yeah how bout it! Our fellow humans would ruin it though just like everything else that was once good. The article said that having to slow for traffic and speed up to over 150 was making the 997 S (manual) work hard.
