In the looks department, Fisker+1. Now in reality that's a different issue. You had issues with the Porker but wait till the electrical Fisker Gremlins emerge, then your smile might fade away. For Me, I'll still take the car on right...in black...and pumped up with 2 more cylinders+/- turbo

there is few dealers in california, you dont need complicated maintinance brake pads every 100k oil change every 5k ( any chevy dealer its GM ENGINE)
the electric motors just like your dryer wahser the are very reliable ..

quality top of the line comparing with my panamera from dash melted in the sun to leather seat waring off .. the eco chic silver its iterior all Eco-Suede (Faux Suede) Recycled look very luxurious .. the white is standard its nice too..
the problem with tesla is its good for 150 mile then wait 5 hours to charge again not reliable for long trip with 2 kids ( are we there yet??)

So smmggsm, The question is what is the motivation behind your trade...?
my other issue with the panamera is the A/C ..in hot summer like in 3 digits temp..
with 2 kids in the back take long time to cool the car the rear a/c useless
i often open the windows .. dealer has no fix for it they said its known issue ..

and the oil consumption is crazy 1 qrt every 1500 mile

If you're going that route, Tesla would have been a better choice.

If I were to ditch the Panny for another ride it would be the M6 Gran Coupe.

problem with Tesla is the range anxiety, friend of mine have one he cant go more than 50 mile radius,, yes there is free charger but not available every where and add 1 hour to you r trip to charge 20% .. for that money minds well buy 2 i mev or 2 leafs
tesla battery location vulnerable to road hazards make is scary to drive

I think the Fisker is the best looking car on the road - but the thought of no spare parts availability nor any warranty coverage could make it an expensive paperweight if it breaks.

If it was a real company with real dealer and real warranty coverage I would buy one in a minute.

If it breaks just replace the engine with a vette engine.

that was my concern too.. but when the last time you had major work on new car?,, they only concern is the battery and that fixable because you can change swap modules.. all dealers still maitining them but you have to pay ( with 13k tax credit i concider this for the repair if i need ) and the car is 1/2 price ..

i bought 3 of them the white my daily drive ,, in month and over 2000 mile beside the look its simply the best car i ever drove .. 25$ to fil tank and jut keep fil the tank no range anaxiety like the tesla,,

sport mode 0-60: 5.8 seconds ( faster my 90k panamera) will engage the engine and battery , use more gas in hard acceleration just like any other car.. but remember you will gain some back from breaking, solar pannel, and cruise control on highway
