I figure I'll have a Panamera in about 25 years!

I've been seriously considering a Maserati as my next DD lately. This video did nothing to discourage what is probably a very bad idea.Trending Topics

Buy a 2007 or later with a full ZF automatic gear box, much nice shift than the earlier cambiocorsa boxes.

Right now, there is no Panamaer Turbo S.....
I've had a Maserati QP Sport GT and currently own this (P4S):
I've owned a Maserati QP Sport GT and as previously stated; the QP with the Duo Select transmission (jerky and you'll replace clutches regularly) is horrible but the automatic verison is the way to go. The car is absolutely beautiful but technologically speaking is ~10 years behind the rest of the automotive world!
The Panamera on the other hand, for some is an aquired taste and inspires lots of passionate debate about it's styling (mostly by folks who are not in the target market). I was one who early on said; "it's ugly and I'll never have one......." Then I saw one in person and drove one.... Of the 50+ cars my wife and I have owned this is far and away the most impressive in every aspect including styling!

Chuck, I gotta ask. Does it snow where you live? If so, how do you clear the brick driveway?

I'm in for the gen2 Panamera, when I'm an old fart. Not because it's an old person's car... just because I will need to be ALOT older to afford it!

I spend most of my time inside the car. With that said, the Panamera looks awfully nice. The exterior is growing on me though. Chuck has a valid point about color because his Panamera looks great. OK I said it. T
