So I guess, S/4S will be V8, base models V6! Makes sense for the line-up. Kind of underwhelming though.

I just can't get used to that a$$! I am sure they will adress that in Panamera 2!

very cool.. i guess thats why they say the new cayenne will only be an S/turbo v8 for 2011... so they will release the v6 model in 2012 after they sell them to everyone thinking that the v8 is only option available.

in reality, you still get the same car.. just not as quick.. so perfect sale for those not needing that extra 100hp.

Best to be very careful around that pop-up tow bar. Don't think the neighboorhood proctologist is going to believe my story when I try to explain the "unfortunate accident" that brought me to his office.

VW Golf motor in a hideous $80k+ four door hatchback with a Corvette front end. Hardly the recipie for success.

The Panamera looks better in person than in photograph. I think we all agree it's not the prettiest sedan, but the interior looks terrific and it drives very well. I don't see a problem with an entry level V6 that produces 300 hp and 0-60 in 6 seconds. After all, it's not a sport car, it's a sedan. I wish Porsche a lot of success, so that they can keep developing the dream cars like the GT3 or the 911 turbo.

Who would want something that low hp? It'll probably be slower than a 10 year old M3.
