Have you looked? There has been a Panamera section for a while now. Check it out, good discusion but most is not favorable to the new model.

Gregg, the Panamera Forum has not been added to the "category" menu on the left side of the screen. Look near the top of that menu and click on Rennlist Forums. You will then see the Panamera Forum listed as the last Forum in the Water Cooled section.

It's funny, as I like the exterior, but am not wild about the interior.

Not for me. I can't accept the idea yet.

I like the Panamera both inside and outside.

Love the interior. The outside shot makes me want to vomit a little bit however. Might be better in person?...

IMO, Porsche's first debacle.

At least this way, I know I'll have something to upgrade to if the child safety seats don't work out in my C4S.

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.

yup, I already have one on my shopping list.

The price that has just been announced will put it into the price range that I'm willing to pay for a car in a few years.

Exactly. Flash back 10 years and people were saying the same things about the Boxster.
And the Cayenne too for that matter.

The big ballers will get 'em and install Tech Art kits, etc, and they'll become a little fad.

The problem with the car is not its looks.
It's the fact that its an ultra-premium gas guzzler sedan, 5 years ago that would've been fine, but now the timing is all off.

Porsche needs to get hot on its hybrid development and get it in this car.
