Panamera impressions.

Consider me a convert.

I could mention what I thought was an aversion to the Panamera for its aesthetic, but why? It's such a niggling/worthless piece of criticism after this weekend's experience. A friend brought over his 4S, treated me to a "guest drive" day of vicious back road enjoyment while fawning over the jaw-dropping interior, and then spent the rest of the evening laughing at my worthless initial reservations regarding this car.

I definitely deserved the clowning.

It's magnificent.

Thanks for checking out the thread.
