Thanks for putting me on blast!
His looks very nice, I will say that. It's TASTEFULLY modded and looks very good. But, when you've got 100k to spend and you want to make the car count, the Panamera doesn't do it, for me at least. If I could buy a $100k car every few years, okay, then I'd give it a shot, but at least in LA, most people that buy it, buy it because its a porsche, not because it looks so good.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

, just throwing it out there that the Panamera can and does look good (IMHO)...One thing to note tho, IMO: it has to be a Panamera Turbo, the other models just don't do it for me....

There is indeed a 300 bhp V6. It's not as rapid as the 400 bhp V8, but the solid handling is still intact. I think it's in the mid 70s - but Porsche options can be on the pricey side...
