The one thing that gets me with this car is the PDK. Don't get me wrong, the PDK is a great trans, but in this car it was absolute rubbish.

I've only driven one Panamera, a 2010 4S and I love everything about it except for the trans. It starts you off in second gear, very sluggish shifts, and at low speed driving its absolutely horrible.

Even better for me: I like how it‘s look!

I hope everyone hates it like 5GT so I can have a Panamera for very cheap.

I keep saying that it would make the ultimate road trip vehicle...

considering these are likely not purchased as second vehicles, like the porsche sports cars, and the high(ish) volume, and the high msrps, i'd expect these to become available for relatively attainable entry prices quite soon.

in fact, i'm surprised we havent seen tavarish post one of these up yet.

i did notice you can get a first gen cayenne turbo for sub 15 these days,

No joke, there is not one seat in that car that would be remotely uncomfortable to sit in for 6 or more hours. Nevermind if its optioned with 4 zone climate and front and read heated and cooled seats...

i have a under 50k panamera alert in carmax. I believe they will be dipping to mid 40k by summer.

If anyone would know it would be you, what happens in low speed driving? Tons of lurching?

I like the back end. It's definitely grown on me.

It looks better in motion, I think.

I like it with the wing out or open or whatever.
