ExactlyCake is infamous around these parts
This was a given, every other high end auto maker has a LWB version, it was just a matter of time.

It's a big car as is, now imagine a pana the size of a s550 and I'm pretty sure the pana is a tad wider?
4door living room, sweet.

These cars are getting so long that they will not fit in most standard garages (20' deep is standard in florida). I have a mercedes s550 and it just fits in the garage.

No cabinets / storage in the front of the car.

I couldn't care less about the legroom. I have friends who are 6' and sit comfortably in the back seat. What I need is the damn 5th seat!

Just got back from Chicago and to my surprise the Chicago Auto Show was going on. So I stopped by. Talked we a couple of Porsche people who claimed to be VP's of this and that. Sadly, there is ZERO, NADA, Zilch plan or even a consideration to build a convertible Panamera. I was surprised, when I asked why, the reply was "have you ever seen a convertible 7 series Bimmer or S-class?"

The larger rear seat section is to hold the egos of the short chinese men who want to be driven around in a Panamera.
