My Ride: 2006 BMW 550i

neighbor brought over a demo black on black porsche panamera 4s. he let me drive it, and let me tell you porsche did a good job with this car. it looks way better in person, and is a big car. it will definetly appeal to those who want a bigger car, and dont care for the small porsches.
it has the pdk transmission which is a wet clutch auto/maual trans, plus awd. the thing hooks and goes....
115k price tag though , but it is sweet.

+1 nice car, but a little weird looking for my tastes, I really don't like the rear at all (and I, for one, love a nice rear )

Nah, it looks like Frankenstien mated a 924 with a 911 and came out with a 4 door. Not the prettiest car at all.

I am 6'3" and adjusted the drivers seat for me and still had enough space in the rear.
A real big and comfortable car.

Iceman, it's big enough, sure, but it's UGLY. The front is pure Porsche, the rear looks like an afterthought
