The NEW Porsche Panamera 2017

I think it looks amazing!!! What do you guys think? Is it a M6 GC beater?

They fixed the biggest issue with the last car. Dat butt!

Not sure about all those touch controls though. Looks like a PITA to keep clean.

Everything else is just sex! Would love to own one of these for sure

I cant even being to describe how much better a M6 GC looks than this car. But to be fair, ive never really been a Panamera fan. On the plus side.. I think the interior looks a lot better than the previous model. Especially the rear infotainment system that seems to be back there.

coming from a die hard BMW fan my whole life, can't even begin to explain how much better/ more unique a Panamera GTS drives/feels than a m6 GC

This is how to spruce up the interior without really deviating from your original design. BMW should take note. I don't mind how they look but after seeing what Porsche did with their design, BMW could do a lot better.

This is the first 4 door larger than an M3 that I have ever really wanted. I think they knocked the cover off the ball on this design, this may have to be my next car.

Hat of for Porsche , and so it was always for me ..design ect..
See 3-4 times a week a Panamera while I drive to my work and think everytime wow that car is really big and it actually looks like a heavy pig .

For the price of the Panamera , just throw me a Turbo-S with a 0-60 in 2.8 sec.....all day long !

^^^^ That intro was so european I love it. Even the chick dancing right before they drive the car out looks like she's struggling to take it seriously.

100% love it. Would definitely buy this over an 6GC or 7er if I were in that market. Porsche totally nailed it.
