It was DFC. They had a small preview, but only had the car for a day.

those covers trap massive amount of heat under them causing failure on certain items. Also the chances of a new Panamera opening the hood is very low..

Also attended the PWRS on media day with Emily Atkins editor at that time.
My personal preference was the Panamera GTS, way better than the Turbo IMHO.
Personally if you want a sedan with that level of performance and a great value test drive the Mercedes E63 AMG S. Its a 4wd phenomenal DD.

I still think they could cut out the rear seat portion of the car and make a new generation of the 928

The 928 had rear seats, they were sightly larger than the 911 but still only good for kids and very short skinny adults.

I just got my latest email from Porsche as I am sure many of you did. Looks like the new Porsche "Panamera Executive" is being pushed as a Limo .. Guess I could always quit my job and become a Limo driver !!

Yes I know.
I just meant deleting the rear doors and having that elongated front engine hood.
Kinda of like the Mercedes SLR.

Just having some fun is all.
An old fashioned cut & paste
