Default Panamera Sport Tourismo

I'm a big fan of wagons, so IMHO this is what the Panamera should have been from day one. Dig the crazy rear views in the gauge cluster.

edit: Thanks Riad for the YT posting lesson.

Was that a rear view mirror around the center gauge???

I'm wondering without mirrors if that would pass in the DOT in the US?

That's a very cool concept. If they make it with five belts so much the better.

The rear camera screen is cool and so is the gimbal looking compass, but I find things that constantly move in those positions on the dash(besides rpm and speedo) to be annoying. I don't like the MPG needle always moving on my 535. Like that instant(and most likely inaccurate) info means anything to the driver.

I like it! Definitely a huge improvement over the Panamera. In fact they should just do away with the Panamera and stick with this...

Now I'm coasting.

Now I'm flooring it again."


Information unobtainable through any other inputs.

I like the overall look better than the Panamera. GTS drive train would be OK with me.

Agree. My BIL has this on his car too and I find it useless.

If the computer averages out your last 20 miles, now we have something worth referring to.

I like it but think the roof should go farther back to allow more storage. Of course that may hurt Cayenne sales, as I would certainly give up the Cayenne if the PST had enough room.

I think the car looks better than the regular Panamera. Had this car existed I might have bought it instead of the Audi Avant.

Not sure if this could easily pass as a compliment, considering the original..

however, ... I do agree. It really looks good now; finally matching the performance.

In this small market niche, perhaps it plays without an opponent.

This actually looks good! I'm a huge wagon fan so I see one of these in my future. In about 10 years

I just text. That takes my attention away from those distractions.

The only players now are the RS 6 Avant and the MB AMG E class wagon. BMW no longer sells the 5 series wagon here.
