Yup, I think that many of those currently spitting venom about the Panamera will have a quiet case of revisionist history once they see one and find themselves buying one.... "Oh, yeah, I loved it from the moment I saw it!"

Just got another Panamera pre-launch packet in the mail today.
It looks nice in the marketing photo's.....

I think that it's a great looking car and will finally be the family Porsche.
I can see the day coming where my kids will get too big for the Carrera and the Panamera will enable people like me to continue to drive a performance Porsche without having to leave the kids behind.

You really think so?
I'm sure that people said exactly the same thing about the 912, 914, 928, 944, 996, Cayenne... get the idea?
I've got to admit that the passions that this car have evoked are pretty funny. Honestly - it sounds like a bunch of 993 guys sitting around picking on the 996. Time to start passing around the gold chains and showing some chest hair.
There is nothing wrong with this car and I'm sure people will recognize that when they see it in person.
The exterior is classic Porsche styling, the interior is no different than you would find in many modern sedans. I fail to see why people have worked up such a passionate dislike to this car, even though they've never seen it. At least withhold spitting acid until you've sat in it and driven it.

I love it. Who wants to have another S class shaped "sedan". That's why I've always loved Citroens. They take chances; some of them successful, others not, but you can't blame them for being a lemming.
I'd take one and I'm thinking, it'll have some great driving dynamics.

I got the poster today, and it looks pretty good. The important thing is how it dirves, which I imagine is AWESOME! I'm sure it will put any BMW, Lexus, Audi, 4-seater to shame.
