GTS=Great Tire Storage

The cargo room in the Panamera is amazing. It verges on minivan or compact truck cargo capabilities. It's the best all around vehicle a guy could own. Can you do this in an RS7, S63, M5 or 6, Rapide, or Quattrporte?

The Panamera also carries 4 Sun Mountain golf bags with luggage for two nights and 4 adults, FYI.

Agree 100%. I think that is why it is at the top of my list - it is the most 'sports car' of any of the other cars you mentioned, yet somehow also manages to be the most practical!

Good to hear. With my Panny Hybrid, I had to use the front seat also. The battery took up cargo space which made for less storage. I didn't put on my snow tires this year because it was a POA transporting the 4 tire/wheels.

I was impressed when I was able to take home a 60" TV by just folding down the back seats.

Huh, I was able to get all 4 mounted tires into the back of my 2015 S e Hybrid. In fact, I've done that several times, since we transport my wife's Cayman wheels in the Panamera when it's time in spring and fall.

Didn't work in my 2013. It wasn't an S e Hybrid, just a straight non-plug in Hybrid. Couldn't fit two wheel heights under the shade bar.

Yachting blue. That's the color my wife wanted as soon as she saw it.

Gus, just a follow up on the space:
The 2013 had a non-removable bar crossing the cargo space, about 9" off the floor which supported the security cover. Couldn't slide a wheel under it. That severely limited the available storage space. The new car doesn't have that bar and the space is hugh. No problem transporting 4 wheel assemblies now.

Yeah, that would be a problem. Mine came with a plastic security cover at about that height, but it was easily removable. Which was pretty much the first thing I did.
