Admittedly I prefer them in darker colors, but I’ll be damned if this one doesn’t look good to me. And they drive so, so well. This one has a bad air spring at the left front though, it’s only a $1,400 part.

There is a bit of that, yes, which is why I like darker colors. But this one is working for me. Maybe it’s the wheels, maybe it’s the borked air suspension. They really are amazing to drive though.

Just imagine it like a really nice, much faster, much more comfortable 928.

It doesn’t look too bad, but it would look better if it was at least a bit higher, so you just could see the top op the tire. That’s just my opinion though.

Hunf, well I gave only driven a broken 928 maybe up to 35 mph to your shop and back. Probably not a high point for comparison.

They look really great in person, but in pictures they look like extruded metal turds.

The Panamera is a sedan that I would buy if I already owned a Porsche and wanted an expensive sedan, but not if I didn’t already own a Porsche and wanted an expensive sedan.

I always like being reminded I’m right about at least something in life.
Some of the panameras came with standard spring suspension, right?
(Waits for Cayenne levels of depreciation...)

Expensive or otherwise, I’d buy one if I just wanted a fast, comfortable, practical, well made sedan. I’ll never afford one, but they’re nice.

I agree, pictures do not do them justice. I didn’t like them until I saw a dark blue Turbo in person.

I didn’t care for the style at first, but they’ve grown on me. And not a lot seems to go wrong with them, which is rare for a large German sedan.

Yes, totally. And a lot started with hating it but Porsche proved them wrong in the end. If I’d had to drive a big premium car this is the only choice. Especially when you keep in mind how the next gen is gonna look!!!

I admit I didn’t really care for the look at first ( in pictures), but the first time I saw one that went out the window. Then I drove a Turbo, and it was love. These things are badass, and the new one, man they look good. If ever I have the coin for a fast dadmobile and I can’t find a good E39 M5, I’ll look for a nice Panamera S.
