That video only makes the car look even stranger than it does in the press photos - especially in the rear end.

We'll see what happens. I guess they plan to take some of the E63 or S63 crowd with it?

Guys in an attempt to make gems like this easy to find, I'm moving this to the Panamera Forum.

Thanks,

Why does the expression "herds of nerds" come to mind when I watch this?
It's still ugly and I'm afraid it's going to be a big (expensive) mistake.

But I did like the GT3

With the GT3 in the room who the hell cares about the Panamera?
It's like introducing Rosie O'donnell w/ Angelena Jolee standing next to her.

Just saw 3 Panamera's in St Tropez yesterday. To my surprize I must say the car is stunning! Especially in white. Beside the economy it has everything to be a success.

I posted it to the 997 site to get a reaction. I also
posted it to the Panamerica site for their review. I
think it shows who wants a 4 Door Porsche.
There are a few people out there who do not get the
privilege to drive two door cars.
Wives do have a way of saying the car is not practicle.

I really want to like the Panamera, but 4 seaters is not enough for my family of 5. Its price makes the Cayenne Turbo looks like a good buy.

..funny, I talked Monday with a guy at Rector (Burlingame, CA) ..that just did Barcelona to St. Tropez, driving successively an "S", a "4S" and a Turbo !
Btw, he said that the driving feel is just incredible !
Well, in about 3 weeks, we will know the truth !

Why 3 weeks? I thought the test drives started Monday in Monterey?
