any guys here ordered and what specs... i couldnt pull the trigger before seen it in person.. cant wait just dont know about the looks yet.. im looking to replace my Alpina B7.

 

same here, I need to see and test drive it to make a decision.

don't worry, there will be no waitlist for this car.

 

This is what i spec'd out:

Panamera S
B4 Carrera White
AB Standard Leather
343 Heated Seats
P81 Sport Seats w/ memory
638 ParkAssit w/ cam
640 Sport Chrono Package Plus
680 Bose

870 Universal Audio Interface
350 Air Suspension
625 Entry and Drive
425 Rear Wiper

104,055.00MSRP excluding destination

 

nice! when u should be getting that.. i hope it will be awesome. it looked great on topgear. but the grew wasnt talking about the car enough

 

Perfectly equipped car!

 

that about sums up what I would buy!

 

Is there radar cruise control available on the Panamera?

 

yes its optional extra

 

radar cruise is useless in So Cal traffic.

 

The eagle has landed. I happened to be en route to the Bravos game Fri. night and spotted it coming up from the toll booth. We sat next to one another for around 20 mins. stuck in traffic closing in on Sydney Marcus BLVD. Black and loaded for bear she was with yellow calipers, if I remember correctly.
Alas, not my cup of tea. I found it very forced and feel its appeal may only reach those who worship at the Porsche alter. Shockingly odd to see what looks like wide body 997 from the front with extra doors and a bolbous rear .....which is unlike anything I have ever seen. It also, oddly, looks likes the occupants are sitting on the floor.
I kept saying to myself "please like it, please like it, please like it". I must still be in OZ 'cause clicking of the heals and a steady chant failed to relieve me of what felt like despair. Some will love it for its flavor and zing and the rest will hate it for what seems a bit spicey over done.
This not a bash, just an opinion. It's simply chicken noodle vs. chicken noodle with...jalapenos, chili powder, mushrooms, mayo, and cooking wine.

 

maybe it's going to be one of those cars that will just have to grow on people.

 

I did place an order on a Panamera Turbo some 2 weeks ago at my local dealer here in Sthlm; was first tempted to get myself the new MB S65. Though the Panamera has grown on me hugely and aim more than happy with my choice. Though the waitinglist in Sweden for one of these is a joke ().

Hej!

Are you getting it from the Porsche dealer by segeltorp? Are you not able to get one in 2009? Did they tell you when they would be getting their first ones? I will be in town in a couple weeks would love to see one

 

Hej globalm3!

Yes, I did order the car from Porsche Center over in Segeltorp; I have good contacts with staff at Porsche Center down in Borås and had planned to get the car from them but things did not work out as it was suppose to. Nope, I did order my car (way) to late to get a 2009 delivery. Would have been possible if I had ordered a Panamera S though, or if I picked up a dealer speced P. Turbo. But not very keen on either.

I did not see any Panameras in their showroom or in their car yard, but some could very have arrived by now and I would imagine that Segeltorp will get some of the first ones in Scandinavia.

Ps: are you swedish?

 

Very cool

Nah im not Swedish, Ja can prata littin svensk.
My wife is from Sweden, she grew up in Segeltorp.
