Great article, thanks. A buddy of mine is interested in just the six cylinder and it sounds decent for him but not me. I'll forward this to him.

Yah, absolutely. As the article mentioned, it could fit the bill for some people that are confined mostly to local/in-city driving.

As always, I'd test drive it myself before coming to any conclusions, but it's nice to see that they aren't offering some stripped down slouch of an "entry-level" car...

Interesting! V6 Panamera. Wonder what the sticker's going to be?

excellent review, agree that the V6 is more than adequate for city driving.

I was surprised that the V6 in the article was fitted with PCCB.

Agreed. Especially as a daily/city driver, PCCBs, though expensive, could be pretty great. No brake dust is a good start on top of the performance. I loved them on my 997TT.

Speaking of 997TT's, with a healthy dose of options, you can get a V6 Panamera pretty close to 997TT territory in terms of price .

PRS 7 is infamous around these parts
They are on the ground in bunches here. I went and looked, no test, and the cars look good. A fairly well equipped black on black was 85K. 300hp is plenty of umph for most but not myself. Add some decent wheels and I think it would look great. 18mpg is not a shabby est for city either for such a large vehicle.

Most the ones at the dealership sat around 80k. Its a great option and 110% nicer than a CLS or 7
