If you're referring to the AM Rapide, yes it is a very attractive 4-door car. But, I've seen one up close, with my head inside the rear compartment and I was shocked at how small the rear seats were. Yes it has 4 doors, but not really room for 4 adults.

..but we have seen the 4S with the 19" wheels and they are the same as the Turbo wheels. We have also seen the 4S with the 20" inch wheels and they are the same as these.
I think what it is, is that the 19" are like the ones on the dark blue turbo and the 20" inch ones are like the ones on the Ruby Red car, irrespective of the model of the Panamera.

Ooops.

Those are 20s? Wow. That car really swallows wheels. Dare I say it needs some lightweight 21s?

As expected, the damn thing is starting to grow on me. It is sexy from most angles that don't accentuate the big rear but I think I'm being blinded by its performance potential. Maybe the astronomical price will unfog my glasses.

Agree, maybe they should have leave it out like the Cayenne... Btw, for those of you that think it's ugly but have not seen one in person, wait until you see one in person. The front is stunningly beautiful in person! But the back is well... will take some time getting used to... I still take one over an S class or 7 series, at least I don't think they will be dime in a dozen in LA.

That's my favorite shot so far.

255/40-20!!!??? That is huge. If that is the right size I'm afraid we're going to see a lot of 22" bling showing up on this thing. I don't even want to imagine how bad that'll have the Porsche engineers pulling their hair out.

I think 21" P40s will do just fine.

Wow, this car looks amazing in the darker colors. The only truly bad angle is the rear 3/4 view. Plus the fact that it's lighter and blows the Maser QP into the deep weeds.
