Went to the launch at our local OPC but not seen one since. Going back to the airport in Amsterdam yesterday saw a lovely Black Turbo with cinnamon interior. Looked lovely & the booted & suited business man gave it some serious beans once the road opened up.

Panamara are out selling 911's at the moment according to 911PW.

I saw one in Aylesbury the other day a black turbo. Massive car, looked good too.

After a few years, when they are sensible money we'll be answering posts.

Seen this Panamera what do you think?

Could well be the case Sean,

25 years time:-

How much to put a set of sills on a Panamera?
My Panamera sunroof is leaking what do I do?

Where to locate nos bottles?

You've got it mate, better buy one now so you have all the answers

I had a good look round one in my local OPC whilst waiting for my aged 928, I was surprised at how high they are and the salesman kindly explained, even though he knew I couldn't afford one, that they use the same engine as the Cayenne which is much taller than the old 928 motor. He also went on to explain that in the event of an accident, apparently for pedestrian safety, the bonnet is blown back, that could prove interesting if your involved in a relatively minor shunt!
Fabulous inside but I'm not sure on the shape, it'd be nice to be in a position to worry about whether to buy one or not though.

didn't know that about the bonnet...
the datsun gtr has the same - minor bump costs 11k to fix (ish..)

5 years time.... good time to buy

read about this on pistonheads a while back, 11-12k to repair a 10mph or so front end impact, bonnet on rams which lift over the windscreen and various other safety precautions which cost a fortune to repair/reset, give it a 5 years and said 10mph impact will write the car off !!!!

Panamera outselling 911s?? I have only seen a couple that were both registered to Porsche GB.

Not really sure on them myself, anyone had a go in one?

One of Harrogates performance dealers have had 3 or 4 in their stock and sold them recently

I saw one of these in Chepstow last week. Was a bit let down that there was no V8 burble

Still not sold on the looks of them to be honest, the front end still reminds me of a C6 Corvette and the back is just....well....it's there isn't it?

Saw two in Reading OPC today, one was a 10 Reg Black Turbo. Looked nice. Big car!
They also have one the Boxster Spyders, which is the first Porsche in a while to push my buttons.
