Will people have short memories and go out buy more less fuel efficient vehicles (SUVs and V8+ gas guzzlers)? You betcha...

 
You got that right. 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 ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Wednesday, November 26th.

Sportier luxury sedan buyers like BMW 7 Series owners? I dont think so. There is a reason why there is no such thing as a BMW M7 . Too much sport for such barges is as ridiculous as having an Olympic match for overweight sprinters.
 
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.

You get the feeling that certian car companies view "the long term" as next quarter vs. the next quarter century... Now, which three would be "the next quarter" strategists?
 
Isn't the Honda Accord a text book example of how to build a marque/brand/model/SUCCESS?!

Any thoughts?
 
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.

Have a very happy Thanksgiving, Tony.
 
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!!!

Let's see what the Panamera looks like in real life. Afterall, it's a Porsche. I'll give them a little benefit of the doubt.
