Is this still a go with the weather forecast calling for rain at 11:00 and again this afternoon (40%) ???? Good test for the wax at the very least

I have to admit that I came away more impressed with the Panamera than I expected to be. It was certainly big, but the back seat is very, very comfy with gobs of headroom.

The Panamera is a lovely car in person; very low and sleek and certainly different than anything else out there. I like.

I don't think it could be called low & sleek from the side view . . .

A few more . . .

The last picture is what my stepson decided was his favourite.

I thought they announced that Panamara wasn"t going to be there. Big notice on the PCA site and everything?

Yes, you're right that Panamera was iffy for attendance, but PCL pulled it together at the very last minute.

You have to see it on the road. Looks like a supercar rather than a sedan. Low ans wide indeed.

I was actully playing golf when I saw it pull out of the parking lot, and speed down the road.

Big presence, and very unique. Still going to require some getting used to, but from the front it looks very good. Side angle is still awkward, and from the rear I think it looks great.

Uhh . . . when do you expect it to get better?

Here's a strange report . . .

The Panamera (and Cayenne) will not live past their production cycle of 7 years now that VW holds the keys . . . and the VW Bluesport concept might end up as Pcar. New ownership has new ideas.

Sorry I missed this one. It looks like I might have got at least one vote thanks to Clive. I have been vacationing/training in Italy and just got back but with a fractured collar bone from a cycling accident. I don't yet have the best use of my left arm for driving my 993 :-( ... but I am hoping to be able to do so and hook up with you guys at the GTG this weekend. I agree with Phil that the Panamera looks sweet.
