Not sure it is. Agate is one of those colors that changes a lot in different light though.
I'm currently planning to order mine in Agate - this is from the config.

I have always wished that Porsche had chosen this design from the beginning as opposed to trying too hard to make it fit in with the design family...

Am I the only one that really, really does not like the Sport Turismo? I love the new Panny (and the old). I own a 2012 P4 and will soon be ordering a 2018 P4 e-hybrid. I applaud Porsche for building the ST and can understand its functional appeal - i just don't love the aesthetic.

No, but I would use only one "really". No interest in a wagon on my part and the so-called advantage of the fifth seat is a joke.

I prefer the standard Panamera over the Sport Turismo.

I'm bowing out of the ST. After reading all the fine print , it turns out there's hardly much more interior space than last year's Pan. Sedan. What a let down. Maybe a future iteration will improve that situation and also how about a GTS version? For now there's the GT3 to dream about.

Same with me. Panamera ST is a wagon what Macan is to SUV - it's only a wagon/SUV for someone who does not actually need one.

waiting for the next Cayenne instead.

Wondering how comfortable will be the "fifth" seat or it just an optional for short rides...

You don't really wonder, do you?

It look fine for long trips... if you are 12" wide at most and could sit on a fence for that time without any pain. Also can't have legs.

The best I can see this being good for is 3 child seats vs 2.

really missed the boat not making it executive length with an optional real bench for those that need a real 3rd person back there.

Me too! I prefer the shape of the saloon. At the back, mine reminds me of the shape of my 911, although clearly the Panamera is a sports saloon, rather than an out and out sports car.

As has been said, the fifth seat will be of little practical use (hence they call it a 4+1) and the cargo capacity of the Sport Turismo is hardly any greater than for the saloon.

I don't mind the looks of the ST, but I just prefer the standard new Panamera shape. :-)

"5th" seat is a big disappointment for sure. I sat in it in Geneva, and think it might be useful for my 7 year old in emergencies, but not much more. Zero foot space.
My personal preference is for the ST body style so will go ahead regardless, but was hoping for more

Yeah, shiny, but off topic.
