Default Anyone contemplating a Sport Turismo?

I am!

I'll be test driving a Panamera 4 and 4S in the not too distant future and very likely placing an order for a Sport Turismo. First deliveries are apparently set for November/December which would work out well for me.

They do look good. But be aware that the luggage capacity is not that much greater than the traditional saloon/sedan version, and the 'fifth' seat is pretty restricted, hence Porsche calling the car a 4 + 1, rather than a five seater.

Is there more rear headroom in the turisimo ? It looks like the roofline is higher at the rear.

If there is, the difference will be minimal. Six footers can easily sit in the back of the saloon/sedan without a problem. :-)

I had noted that distinction but can't find a photo of the backseat to see just what they mean.

As for the luggage capacity, it's for my dog so that I don't have to have her in the back seat...

Here you go... Looks like virtually no legroom for the middle seat...

Wow that's pretty bad. Not much better than the regular Panamera.

Well, we're a family of 4 and the Mrs. has primary kid shuttling duty so it's probably fine.

Thanks for posting these.
