I think it looks stunning, but then again so is the price, great 3 model launch line up though no messing around there.
Interior looks superb as well, they really don't know how to make a bad car do they?
108k for a diesel with the must haves, nothing excessive. I'm sure they will sell all they can make. Might have to slum it with the new e63 coupe. I'm not sure it warrants a 20k premium palthough residuals will be a lot betterInterior looks superb as well, they really don't know how to make a bad car do they?

I'm with Sniff on this, Porsche have definitely misplaced their ugly stick, the flow of the lines from front to back is much nicer, looks good now. And how many full-size saloons are truly beautiful anyway?
Yes it's heavy, but I fear it's unrealistic to expect luxury for four adults and GTR-rivalling speed at much under two tonnes.

Turbo 7.38
Carrera GT 7.28
Still amazing for turbo. Put a Carrera GT on modern Cup 2 or Tropheo R rubber it will be even quicker.
Yes, I noticed that. Carrera GT 7.28

Porsche claims economy has improved by 30% over the twin-turbo 4.8, but if you’re not chasing economy, Döllner says the Turbo can lap the Nürburgring “as fast as our previous super-sports car”. By that, he means the Carrera GT.

I like the Panamera and this latest version is certainly more easy on the eye.
We have three that live nearby including a black 4s which looks great.It is an impressive car, and with it no doubt being superior in the handling department than the competition i can see the appeal for someone with a family looking at Porsche.

A revolution, it is relatively less ugly than the old one.
I simply fail to see what the importance is of zee ring time for a four door GT. The ride must be great.
V12 and much more beautiful. Job done.
Pretty car but you have to be a dwarf to be comfortable in the back. The Panamera can fit proper big blokes in the back, no problem. The Aston cannot, so therefore it fails. I simply fail to see what the importance is of zee ring time for a four door GT. The ride must be great.

"Thinking you were ready to kick the diesel habit? The 422hp V8 in the Panamera 4S Diesel may have you reconsidering"
If I was in the market for one of these, I wouldn't consider it because I'd imagine that in several years time, long after I'd sold it on, it'd be owned by someone who can't afford to run it and they'll be taking it to a "specialist" who'll gut the dpf because they can't afford to replace it, and it'll be blowing all manner of noxious cr4p into the atmosphere.

There is no doubt that this will be a properly engineered car ... it has a look of it's own and although I have never driven one a professional racing driver friend of mine said they are a cut above everything else ... being a British website we will no doubt be told some Jag is 10 times better but they simply aren't.
Based on what? You sound like a bloke who bases his opinions on the opinions of others. Maybe you should drive more cars?The Jaguar XJ drives superbly for a barge. Dynamic, comfortable and luxurious. I'd own one

But flimsy and glitchy compared with a panamera (unless the new one is a step backwards)The Jaguar XJ drives superbly for a barge. Dynamic, comfortable and luxurious. I'd own one
