My wife and I spend the winter here on our boat. We bought a '11 Pano for our FL work car, great car. Is there anyplace in the world with so may Panameras? I think not.

Was just in LA, a vast plethora of Pannys on the highways and byways out here....T

What marina? Did you see floatopia insanity on Sunday?

Palm Harbor.
Yea we decided to take a idle up to Peanut Island for a swim Sunday and when we arrived we were shocked by the hundreds of boats rafted up and parties all over.
FL Marine Police, Sheriff Dpt , Fire/Rescue and Coast Guard had boats all over on patrol.

Very few in Silicon Valley -- but many, many Teslas. Happy to hear the rumble of a proper engine over the whine of an electric.

Yes, but the North Bay, particularly around Tiburon, is Panamera country.

Good to hear that Panameras are popular in WPB. Panameras are the most underrated sedan on the market. Maybe because of the side rear profile or maybe the price. Maybe it is their after-market values. I have not done a definitive analysis, but my impression is that the turbos depreciate quite a lot. Not sure about depreciation of other Panamera models. They are rare in Boston. Might see 1-3 a week in and around Boston, which is hard to understand considering their all wheel drive models and the miserable winters here.

They're expensive, and most people can't afford to drop $70-$100k on a car. I'm surprised your'e seeing 1-3 a week - I think I've seen maybe 1 or 2 in the last 6 months, and I'm in Boston as well. Boston doesn't have the kind of car culture that California does, where expensive cars are relatively common.

Maybe you're in one of the more affluent areas, like Westwood?

The Panameras I usually see are in Boston, although saw a grey GTS in Quincy yesterday. As I think about it, there are very few Audi A8's/S8's, around. You are probably right about the car culture, or rather counter-culture here.

It's oddly mixed. When I was driving a Toyota Supra Turbo, I got a positive reaction almost every time I went out. I lost track of the number of times people asked if it were for sale. In the 7 months I've been driving a Panamera, the only comment I've gotten was "does that thing have any room?"

At least 3-5 Pannis in my gym (Lifetime Athletic Club) parking lot everyday in Florham Park, New Joisey.
Mostly base 4's or 4'S's driven by suburban mommy's attending the 10:00 am yoga group class.
Mine is the only modded turbo however.

I thought yoga-attending suburban mommies were required by law to buy Cayennes.

Their are at least 50 of those in the gym parking lot.
With every rim curbed badly.

I can recommend you a good address for an ophtalmologist (in Silicon Valley).
