2010 Porsche Panamera First Look - Just as Porsche warned, we're unable to get behind the steering wheel of a Panamera under power. As a consolation prize, however, the engineers offer up a "taxi ride" around their test track. (more)

2010 Porsche Panamera First Drive and Video - First Impressions: Dynamically, a superb GT. Dimensionally, a functional luxury sedan. For many, the best of both worlds. (more)

And then there is the 2010 Porsche Panamera. Or rather there are three of them: a rear-wheel-drive S, an all-wheel-drive 4S and the all-wheel-drive Turbo. Lower and wider than expected, they all look much better in the metal than in any photograph. 2010 Porsche Panamera First Look Replies to this message: jcelebrate (Apr 01, 2009 6:21 pm)

Want a GT car with Porsche looks? Buy a base Porsche 911. Want a car that can seat four adults and their luggage? Buy a minivan. Want both? Then buy both. However, do NOT buy the Porsche Panamera, which is basically the front end of a Porsche welded onto the back end of a minivan. No one in their right mind would spend $90k on this butt ugly Porsche.

Replying to: lt1boy (Apr 05, 2009 12:33 pm) That's what was said about the Cayenne..... and look where we are now. The Panamera is going to do very well. And they won't just be spending $90k, they will be spending $160k on a well equipped Turbo. I can't wait.

Did anybody receive a mailing from Porsche regarding the Panamera? If so, did you access code work. My did not.

This beast is ghastly.

Am I the only one who thinks it's slightly more intuitive to pull "down" on a manumatic shifter to "down"-shift and push "up" to "up"-shift? That being said, this thing is ugly, but I'm sure it will find its place just as the Cayenne did.
