Yeah, I saw it in person. The interior was easily the most beautiful I have seen in a car, and the performance was astounding (especially P-Tom's), if it wasn't for the fact that at some point you have to look at it from the outside it would be a perfect car.

I love it. I would dump my M5 for it.

^ THIS.

There's nothing I'd rather have than a panamera turbo, especially one like Tom's. C, I saw your wife in the new truck the other day btw. Looks great!

I actually really like it. But I'd rather have a GT-R or a new M5.

Why don't you compare M5 to Bugatti Veyron?
it is of the same weight
It will leave no chance.
Oops, it costs over $1'000'000
So may be you should stop comparing cars in different price ranges?

I like these Pana's with body kits and wheels but thats another 30k-100k and then the 100k on top of a M5. That is a no brainer. M5 is a good deal when compared to this vehicle. Why not just go for the nicest Aston Martin Rapide, now thats a sick whip.

My boss drives a 2011 Panamera. I see the car a couple times a week in the parking lot, and I'm not impressed.

I think that it's a butt-ugly car... considering that it's a Porsche!
In my book, Porsche is not about 4-door sedans, but speedy (race-like) cars... and that's probably why I don't like the Panamera. It just "doesn't look right", so stretched-out and all.


No way I'd ever switch my M5 for that....
