super congrats and that's the perfect color.

What does this car feel like to drive...

Maybe, like a cross between a Mercedes S-550 and a Porsche 928 ?

Was yours delayed due to quality? (key issue)
if so
Did they get you some luggage?

Congratulations!

Do share your thoughts on the car. How does it feel, drive, noise, handling, ease of use of all the buttons in the center console, seats, visibility front/back/sides, etc.

Thanks for the all the congrats guys......I gotta run my kid to school (CANT WAIT TO DRIVE IT!) So, I'll be brief. All I can say is that after driving everything under the sun over the last 5 years including cars that I've owned (M5, QP Maser, F430, 997 TT) that the Panamera 4S might just be the best all around car I have ever driven.
I'll give a FULL report on my initial impressions of the car later today.
Thanks!

I said earlier that I would give a detailed post about the car, but I'm just too burnt to give it justice.
Quickly, I will say.......
Sports Chrono and PDCC are a MUST. I'm stunned at how friggin' hard you can push this car to the limit and it begs for more.
The feedback is constant and the damn car NEVER looses grip. I'm simply shocked that a car this size is so light on it's feel yet perfectly planted simultaneously.
I chose the 4S over the Turbo for a reason. I prefer the handling and with no turbo lag combined with Direct Injection it all comes together.
Launch Control is so much fun it should be illegal!
Lastly, Im in love with the PDK.

how does the PDCC affect normal daily non-highspeed driving?

the dealer told i could just feel the effect on the rear seat at high speed... so i am struggling whether to have it or not... please share some thoughts..
