That car looks great. I will definitely get one of those if it looks similar to those pics.
Just not during the first two model years.
What kind of name is Panamera though? Porsche has just not been doing well with naming lately.

Panamera is supposed to be a contraction of "Pan Americana", the race (back when men were men by the way) over public roads in South America that Porsche won a few times...or I think it was more than once. This was during the 550 era. If you read about those adventures it is quite a difference from todays racing.

Garey,
I remember the races. I believe it was called the Carrera Panamericana. Isn't that where the name came from for the 911 Carrera?
Having said that, I still do not think Panamera is a smart name for their sedan.

Here's a neat article on the race:
Carrera Panamericana Race anniversary
Another on the specific 550 involvement and the emergence of the "Carrera" moniker:
