I tried to tell people that I get lots of thumbs up and open mouth stares for my Pana Turbo, and lots of folks insinuated that I was making it up.

The Panamera looks haters just can't accept that they are out-voted by the general public.

I have to agree with you...I was in Miami @Bal Harbour Shops having brunch yesterday and a Aqua Blue PS4 pulled up to the valet and heads were turning...My wife was like "that's hot"...I had to remind her we have a Turbo on order...And this was in the midst of Bentley's and Maybach's!!!

I do like the look and got a P4S Basalt Black. For what it is, it is a great car. You turbo guys, it was only 3 seconds behind at GT3 at the ring. Interesting how ,BMW,MB, and Aston Martin are all coming out with a 5 door.

There are sooooo many haters of the Panamera and I can almost guarantee that most of them have not aeven seen it in person. The Panamera has an incedibly strong presence when it drives by. I work at a dealer and I still find myself gawking at our Panamera that we have on the lot. It's funny you mention chicks digging it, because my wife is in LOVE with this black turbo we see once in a while.

I do love the car inside and even out. I can not imagine how much faster the turbo would be. My new plate: LIMO-928

I think the reason you get more compliments in your Pan is because its less intimidating
than your other cars. This was NOT a scientific study, The people I used were sent into
the witness protection program

Gents I am seriously considering the P4S when my lease is up on my '08 9971 in Sept. I love Porsche, but need a more "grown up car," so thought the Panamera would be a great middleground. For those that own one, a) is the technoloy inside (i.e., stereo, blue tooth, navi, etc), hopefully significantly better than that in the 997, and b) do you get used to the rather claustrohobic rear view window visbility (or lack thereof?) I test drove one a few weeks ago, and I found it vry unsettling, especially when the spoiler deploys straight up and blocked out a large chunk of the window.

Mine is on order. I spent a couple of hours driving around in one the other day and had no problem with visibility and the feeling that it lacked good visibility, but then again, I am a driver that is always aware of my surroundings, just incase I have to make a move!

Technology: better than the old stuff! Didn't get to try BT.

I made the move from my 06 C4S and can't wait for the P4S!

As people have been stating, it doesn't feel as big as it is! I really liked driving it around in traffic the other day!
