I spent plenty of time researching the face lift and found nothing more than some spy shots. The way Porsche tests that may be just be mules for the new motors for 2015. They are going to put something out that is not fully tested.
I got over it, bought a 2012 PTT and will never look back - love the car, love driving it and figure by the time the new car is done in 2015/16 I will be ready for that anyway.
If you need a car go get one, if you want a car go get one, if you are concerned about resale because of the facelift you may want to opt for a different car.

When I was looking at pp gts and asked the consultant he said changes in gts already incorporate all elements of the facelift. If you notice the facelift incorporates 4 LEDs in the headlight like turbo, which is same as gts...

As I am considering buying a Panamera, I hope that the facelift fixes the two complaints I have about this car. First is the tach guage is the most prominent one, when, IMO, it should be the speedometer instead, especially with an automatic transmission. They should switch the position of these two guages.
Next, it is very hard to find a new or used Panamera with a black (or dark) dashboard top without the black interior. It's a major annoyance to me to see the reflection of the dashboard in the windshield. The only cars I've found that get close to this are the ones with the yachting blue paint interior/exterior paint scheme, with the blue dashboard and the white seats. So many other car makers have already came to the conclusion to have a black dashboard top and other color interior, presumably to cut down on the reflections on the windshield. Mercedes, Maserati, Mazda and others do this now. I realize you can get this with Porsche by ordering a new one, but so few new ones available now have it. Disappointing. In fact, I could not find ANY with a beige interior and black dashboard, which is really what I want.
I guess Porsche really frowns on two-tone interiors when building cars on spec.

Porsche - facelift ?
put a '63 911 next to a series 997 and compare
the only things that have changed are 1) a bit more HP..2) water instead of air engine cooling (which ya can't see anyway)..3) and just a little more expensive
