Panamera first test by lexusguy

Edmunds has posted their first test of the Panamera, including video. Somehow it seems to look less ugly in the video than it does in static images. I do want to hear that Burmester sound system. Unless they dropped the ball, it should give the A8/B&O setup a real run for its money.

I am admittedly a bit surprised. Even though I am a Porsche fan, I honestly didn't expect it to be that good. If the Edmunds review is indicative of the general sentiment of most auto critics, then the Panamera is indeed an excellent accomplishment.
 
Most impressive is how Porsche engineers were able to achieve nearly the exact result they were after for this vehicle... smooth, powerful, balanced and highly responsive... all the while accomodating 4 adults in an environment of supreme luxury.
 
Years ago, I posted that I was looking forward to the Panamera as a car I might want to purchase. Then, after seeing some of the developing news, I started to get less and less interested. Now, my interest is rekindled. I will make an effort to test drive one later this year or early next year.
 
Gosh... I can't wait to see how the auto community tries to comp this car.
 
Thanks for the post.

I am not that crazy of the profile, however.
 

 
I think the Tesla S in comparison dwarfs it with respect to design and fluid balance upon first looks.

Excellent! The Tesla is indeed a good-looker, I agree. And, given the state of affairs regarding gas prices, it might even make more sense.

Perhaps, but the Porsche actually exists as a production car. Tesla will first have to get over their incessant and childish squabbling between past and current ownership before they can actually make this thing.

I personallly do not car for the rear of the car, and although in person the rear interior may be o k I do not think I would care for it either....
 
Over on the Audi forum I have been reading about some really terrible mpg for the A8 s model, like ten and twelve mpg on fairly long trips and the owners are quite pleased ...I would be shocked... and I personally get twenty two to twenty three mpg now with ethonol down from twenty five-six...I`l stick with the Audi until something comes along--Tony ps Nice pictures

This is it: Confederations Cup (South Africa): Spain 0 — 2 USA. I couldn't watch the match, but from the news and the score I can say USA play was well above that of Spain. Congrats to USA soccer!

I don't know what it is about that car, but the E always crushes the mid-lux competition, no matter how old or outdated it gets.
 
Uh, are we talking about NA or globally? Because globally Audi A6 crushed all others in sales number.
 
Feels good to be back
 
Anyways, since the last time I heard GM went ch11, does anyone know what will happen to Cadillac?
