Default OT: drove a pana GTS today

Very impressive...I think I am getting one! Has an incredible exhaust note, and i love the downshifts.

Richk, did they gave you the mandatory Louis Vuitton paper bag for the test drive or the car came with tinted windows?

John

I did not receive the LV paper bag...will put an inquiry in with my salesman. Agree with Mooty 118k seems a little silly. They also have a used pana turbo with evoms 600hp upgrade...car was very fast! I must be getting old I really like my CL65.

I'm a fan of nearly everything Techart. Techart Pana is amazing looking.

This is more my style, though.

When I first saw that car a coupe of years ago from afar I thought, "where did Chysler find a chassis to make a bigger Crossfire, and who the hell would buy one?"

Agreed.
Personally have never cared for the look and side profile. Bluntly put, the Panamera is butt ugly.
Much better looking fast 4 dr sedans out there.
The new F10 M5 come with forged internals

I do have to admit in the SUV line the Techart that AEROKITTED posted is really nice.

In my own opinion bimmer is the only way to go in this 4 door family mover class. I would also accept a benz. That panamera is nothing special to look at. Infact it kinda hurts my eyes alittle bit

From the outside it isn't pretty, inside is very nice.

new M5 and the X5M are probably better value for money, and certainly look better from the outside IMHO ...
