Replying to: laurasdada (Nov 26, 2008 8:33 am) Will people have short memories and go out buy more less fuel efficient vehicles (SUVs and V8+ gas guzzlers)? You betcha, as matter of fact here in the metro LA area, the Hummer are already coming out of the hiatus due to the low gas price. Will the Big 3 be stupid enough to push for more crossovers/SUVs? Based on their collective intellecture and track records I say that's very likely. If I am a betting man that's what I am going with So let's see... The gas price currently is low, people buy more gas guzzlers, Big 3 then will build more of them and say let's forget the fuel-efficient vehicles, then gas price goes back up, people are screaming, whining, cursing and stop buying Big 3 products again and ultimately the Big 3 will need another bailout or they are doom for good... Boy we are effed...

In my area, almost as soon as prices dipped under $2.50, there was a news report of dealers already saying truck/SUV sales were shooting back up. People are sooo stupid sometimes!

A reporter from a national newspaper would like to speak with consumers who have recently put off purchasing a new luxury vehicle. If you have put off purchasing a luxury car or SUV, please respond to ctalati edmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Wednesday, November 26th.

Replying to: dewey (Nov 26, 2008 7:54 am) I don't think Porsche is targeting the traditional big luxury sedans with this car, or even the S63, Alpina B7, or Audi S8. They are after a much smaller niche, ie the Quattroporte Sport, Rapide, and that freaky Lambo 4-door. I seriously doubt there's enough buyers to support 4 or 5 cars, and there's a very good chance that several of these cars will be one time specials. If I were Porsche, I wouldn't be wasting my time with this car.

Replying to: gardis (Nov 25, 2008 6:02 pm) Hi Gardis, I honestly have not a clue if that is a good deal? My suggestion is that Edmunds 5 series forumss may be a better place to go for an answer. Good luck. |

Replying to: anthonyp (Nov 26, 2008 2:07 pm) Now that my wife has her license, I seem to be down to one car again. Yet by my admittedly rough calculations, I seem to be actually washing two cars.  It didn't take her long to find the mall. Thanks for the good wishes!

"Panamera" must mean "huge rear blind spot" in Italian.  The only one I've seen that's almost this bad is the Lexus ES 350. That last photo had me ROTFLMAO!!!
