Yawn. They might like it more on that forum.

 

 

Looks nice. I finally drove a Panamera for the first time over this past weekend as a loaner car while my 911S was being serviced. Nice interior, nice ride, adequate thrust. But in the end it still felt like a big sedan (which it is) and I really missed driving my 911S.

Now if it had seating for five instead of only four, it might make for a nice third car for us...

 

I totally do not get these land yachts. They must be really amazing to drive, because I don't see why I'd want to buy one over a Cayenne or Macan.

 

I'm excited to see this unveiled. The 991 interior (and the rest of the Porsche range) was directly lifted from the original Panny - so I imagine it will be a strong indicator of what the next 911's interior will look like.

Exterior wise, the full-width rear light bar will soon be a marque standard as well, which I've always loved on the widebody 991's.

No.

But I did like the shooting brake version. Which we won't get I'm sure.

 

Oh thank God. The original Panamera was up there with the 914 as ugliest Porsche. Now I won't have to be embarrassed when I get a service loaner.

 

I had higher hopes based on the different concept drawings. Have to wait to see it in person, but it looks very boring to me and I really don't care for the front. The rear haunches, C pillar and roofline look like they copied the Tesla Model S rather than doing anything unique. Actually it looks like someone took a Model S and grafted a few Porsche styling cues onto it, namely the front and rear lights.

 

Far more comfortable than either, particularly for rear seat riders.

 

Panoramas - especially Turbos and GTS are astoundingly good at the track. The feel from the drivers seat is like a 991S being followed closely by another 991 in the back seat!

*yawn*

Unless we get the wagon variant in the States.

 

The Panny handles much more like a 911 than a Macan, definitely more than a Cayenne. More rapid power up (Panamera Turbo S vs. Cayenne Turbo), nimble handling, the longer wheelbase does better on highway, etc.

YMMV.
