When you have a Porsche in the garage you will never want to drive some other random family car.

Priorities: First, outfit your wife and child with the appropriate vehicle. Then spend the remainder on your toy.

Definitely go the nice family car and a newer Porsche route.

though one especially because as of now I only want to spend half but trying to decide if i should save and get a Panamera, or get an c4s/c2s now and a Cayenne GTS/turbo later. I am not a suv kind of guy ( I am from Germany - we don't like suv's :-)) but my wife likes 'em, also she hates the look of the Panamera. So she is voting for 911 + cayenne.

That is our thought process. I'm picking up a TT here soon and we have been looking for a good family car, looks + power + size is hard to come by. We have looked at the S4, E350, etc but the Panamera takes it all.

That's the carzy thing she is like go get yourself a 911 and later we can get a cayenne if you like, she can't stand most cars that aren"t coupes (family friendly) other then a RangeRover, I just don't think that I would like to have one of those :P

Don't worry it does not need to come that far. I am more thinking along the lines of an Audi A4/A6 (Station) - Bmw 5series type of thing. I am hope I never buy anything but German/Italian

Not too far from there, I live in Edgemont.

The Cayenne GTS doesn't feel like an SUV, it is a big sports car with a lot of storage space. My Touareg is a much less capable version of it and it is a fun vehicle to drive around...especially in the corners when you learn how to handle it.

Agree with Ed.

You have to have some kind of 911 in the stable. As good as a Panamera turbo, it is no 911.
