Very, very nice indeed!

 

Those big center HVAC vents remind me of 80's domestic sedans. Otherwise beautiful cabin! The rear end still bothers me. Gotta see it in person.

 

Wow

I really like it!

This car really has grown on me!

The Turbo is going from 0-62 in 4,2 sec and is powered by a 500hp Biturbo V8!
NICE!
303 km/h top speed and a price of 135k Euro for the TT.

The only things that I dislike is the rear of the car and the amount of ***** and switches on the middle console.

This thing will boost P-car sales figures to unseen heights.

If I ever have to buy a sedan because of family needs,it`ll be a used Panamera( or a AMG/ M if the Panamera figures out not to be a great sports sedan)

 

Have a look at this video. It may help.

Thanks,I did it earlier.
That`s the source where I got the performance and price figures from.

 

I think the car looks very nice indeed in that video.
I really like the blue and the light interior. Very elegant!

Once one gets over the fact that it is not a sportscar but a luxury Grand Tourer and starts seeing it in that light, then I think one can begin to seriously like this car.

 

they said that they want to make 80% of the Panamera sales to non Porsche drivers who would normally drive a BMW,Audi or MB

makes sense!

after looking at the PM over and over again in the video I don`t even think anymore that the rear looks that bad...
I`m really excited about it

 

I think it's interesting how they promoted the news as "Revealing the Interior" and then stuck the pricing information in toward the end. This is the real news, in my opinion.

The base S edition has pretty impressive performance characteristics given the pricing and the Turbo numbers seem too good to be true.

Here are all the numbers Panamera Pricing Revealed

 

that`s ridiculous...
why do citizens of the country Porsche has its roots in have to pay way more than somewhere else??
deep BS
(sorry for that)

 

YoungBimmer,

Based on your location, you would know better than me, but I think there are a few different forces at work.

1. European pricing includes 19%VAT plus homologation charges (country specific equipment. So, if you added 19% to the US price and then converted to Euros, the pricing would be very similar.
2. The US is Porsche's largest market. They can charge slightly less and make up the difference on volume.
3. It is quite common for all car manufacturers to charge geo specific pricing based on current market conditions.

With all that said, I agree with you and would have thought things would be a little less expensive in Germany.

FYI, Canadian Pricing available now too:

Panamera S/400 hp/0-100 in 5.4/283 km/h/$115,100
Panamera 4S/400 hp/0-100 in 5.0/282 km/h/$120,300
Panamera Turbo/500 hp/0-100 in 4.2/303 km/h/$155,000

 

The back seat looks a little too "cozy." Kind of like a Mercedes CLS, but even tighter. And, at US$90k for the base V8, way too expensive.

 

nice, very similar pricing to the S-Class

 

yeah the backseats look snug, but real sporty.
