Anyone seen a new 2017 Panamera at their dealership yet?

Yep, a pretty respectable power to weight ratio and not too big a frontal area (certainly less than a Macan or Cayenne) so should be plenty fast enough for me, being a 4 seat 4/5 door GT sports saloon! :-)

Nice, Yuri. Yours or a showroom car?

That car has "distributor" plates. It's probably a company car at Porsche HQ in Atlanta. I don't think it means anything about customer cars being released to dealers.

Ah, thanks. Personally I prefer the 21" 911 Turbo wheels that I've specced to those in the pictures. It's a good looking car though! Think it may be metallic black?

I would be surprised if they didn't introduce an S, as there is a base 2wd Panamera and then the non-S Panamera 4 (that I'm getting). Can't imagine why Porsche wouldn't launch an S, looking at the 911 model line up etc. Judging by UK prices, the 4wd adds about 4.5% to the cost of a base Panamera, so probably a similar price differential between an S and a 4S.

Beautiful! I nearly went with the grey, coupled with the crayon/black interior. That does look good! I went for the slightly more 'outgoing' Carmine Red on my Panamera 4, with those same beautiful 21" 911 Turbo wheels. :-)

It is definitely a nice color in person! Your color is not too shabby either:-)
