Trunk/storage is way too small for a four door. It's can't handle even one golf bag without removing the woods/driver. The only other choice is to fold down the seat.

What is the point of a four door for four people when you can't carry their luggage?

I'd rather have the new Audi A8.

A TT Pan at near $150,000 will be a flop, way overpriced. In that range real money types buy a Bentley.

No way you saw one in person. If you cant fit your clubs in the car than you must be 7' tall

im 6'2'' and I fit my clubs at a angle in the back seat of my 911. They will fit in the Panamera 110%

Saw another one at the dealership yesterday. Blue with the marine theme interior. Absolutely stunning. It is absolutely unique in a very Porsche-way. If you haven't seen one in the flesh, hold off on making a call. I used to think it was ugly when I only saw it in pictures.

It will be hugely successful for Porsche. I've had an AMG S Class and a BMW 7 before and this is totally different...

Your dreaming. I measured it.

One won't fit, let alone four bags.

Try thinking before talking.

4 guys going in 1 car to golf? Weird

I think before I speak very well and the fact you state that they dont fit makes me wonder a little. The back seat goes threw to the trunk so no way it wont fit but to each his own.

Good luck tiger

Of course they fit if you put the back seat down, but then, that rather defeats the purpose of a four seat car, don't you think?

My mates and I often car pool to a course out of town. I need a car that will carry all our sticks. My Audi A8 does it no problem.

I agree! Bentley is the way to go at this price point. The fit and finish in the Pan is no way near Bentley.

i mean it was the same with the cayenne and the comments back then were much harsher and what happened? the Cayenne is the best selling Porsche model now. the panamera won`t overtake the Cayenne in sales cause it is more expensive but i am sure it will grow/has grown on enough people.
as far as i am concerned, the back is the only thing i would have changed a bit but the rest of the car is simply amazing. judging the car just by its big butt is simply ignorant cause the car has a great appearance in reality, is very unique and is no doubt an awesome piece of engineering.
i agree very well said my friend

Dont forget the V6 is coming in 12 months so it could just out sell the Cayenne, I think it will!

I sat in one today and the interior is sweet but the rear end needs work. It might grow on you. The one I sat in was a twin turbo black with ceramic brakes and the price was $150,000. Expensive.

I remember the first time I saw the Cayenne TT, I thought the same thing everybody is saying about the new PM (Turbo of course), 3 years later hours of fun driving the CTT I now think the lines of the CTT are sexy, very unique, and wonder how could they design and build such an impressive SUV comparing it to all the other SUV's, others have tried but Porsche still puts the sport in sport utility vehicle! I like the PM better than the Cayenne for first appearance impressions, unique, different lines again, practical?? Well how fast do you want to get to 60 or 100? I plan to buy one and add to my collection next year, let somebody else take the new car hit for me..
