There will be more posts like the OP's. Hell, even the roar about the Cayenne has calmed way down over the last few years.

I don't doubt that it is a nice car. It damn well better be for $100k. It's just not much of a Porsche.

I've seen it. Back end = J Lo

Cayenne first gen was a POS, why would this be any different?

What's the price on that one with all the goodies? Gotta be 6 figures. Are there enough posers left with that kind of cash? I'd buy one of the competing cars for less money.

If it bombs, they'll blame it on Weedking.

Is the thing as long as it seems in pictures? Isn't it longer than the Pepper?

I'd NEVER buy one in the first year or two... can you say Cayenne?? Our late '04 Cayenne was reasonably troublefree but all you have to do is hang around the Cayenne forum to learn about the alpha and beta year Cayennes...

The ball in front is probably the radar cruise control thingy.

So, let me get this straight. Porsche sent one of the first 2 Panameras to hit the U.S. to . . . Suwanee, GA, pop. 8725?? Why not Mayberry RFD?

Well, in any case, I'm not a cynic about this car. There's no reason Porsche shouldn't have a sedan (or an SUV). I really like what I've seen so far, just from pictures.

I envy you getting to experience it in the flesh. I'm sure I'm going to be seeing lots of them here in metro L.A, pop. 12.9 million.

I'm sure it is a great performer. My main objection is the awful looking rear, though the front looks great. With the Cayenne I loved the rear but the front ruins everything. Why can't they just bring out a beautiful car?

The legroom in the back looks horrible.... surprising for such a big/long car.
