Honestly 12000 RPM,  you could get yourself a Macan AND another Macan for your wife for the price of one of these.

It's cool and all but I think people are ooohing and ahhhing a bit because the model it's replacing was not very attractive.  Taken by itself, it doesn't scream gorgeous.  Exterior wise it's probably stylistically on par with a model S for me.

The transformer wing is very very cool however.

I really liked the last Panamera. :huh:

Don't forget this version is coming still.




Will that also come with the unfolding wing?


Dad, the ice cream is melting!

But the Macan is a ~80% an Audi Q5. The Panamera is in an entirely different league.

This is probably not an unfair assessment, but even still, it's much better looking than all its competitors besides the Model S, and IMO went from one of the worst looking sedans out to one of the best with what looks like a new rear door and bigger wheel wells. Worthy of praise IMO.

And if we did the 2 Porsche household thing mine would have to be a sports car. I could probably manage with a base 991 C2. As much as I like this design, I don't see the point of large sedans. This thing's probably no more fun to drive than a Macan Turbo, but way less practical. And a 911 is way more fun to drive, only giving up the back seats. It's kind of the worst of both worlds. Looks good though :wub:

I'm kind of mad that it hasn't looked this good from the get-go. But hey, I suppose the bad makes us appreciate the good  :praise:

well hello to you as well  :tounge:

I saw you were a fellow late-model CTS owner for a brief period. Was Cadillac ownership everything you hoped it would be?

It was garbage and I hated it, and I was terrified that the car was going to blow up catastrophically before I could sell it to the new owner


Thankfully, it went OK.


It was fast, tho.

Not much, just decided to see what the old gang is up to

I do admit I came back mostly to brag about this on BikeSpin:



I actually picked it up last year, but it's my first bike, so I'm still pretty stoked. I still have the Caddy, but I think I might actually be putting more miles on the bike.
