sucks for buyer #196

little did they know the luggage set is made in China and costs Porsche $195 each to make

way to go , NMOFGMs Daddy, you ruined it for all those poor people….

@NMOFGMs Daddy I believe that Rimowa manufactures this line of Porsche luggage, so the luggage would be Made in Germany.

@scratchy: i think it sucks to be anyone who bought a Panamera, not just #196… who in their right mind would buy that ugly thing

To make it worse…apparently the Panamera also comes available in “Sh*t Brown”. Is that a cost extra color Porsche? Or does looking like sh*t come standard?

Sorry…that joke just had to be made…

Airport baggage handlers are drooling at the prospect of getting their hands on the content of these $3500 luggage pieces.

I heard that when GM was forced to delay the first Camaro deliveries everyone with a deposit received a coupon for a free mullet perm at Supercuts.

Looks like many have redeemed those coupons too

LMAO!!

Hey, wait a minute! I like the Camaro.

They can keep their luggage buyout.

@several of you

Guys, I gotta tell you. I’ve seen every picture of the new Panamera – be it online, in car magazines, etc. I was so disappointed with what this car looked like. Don’t get me wrong, the Panamera Turbo’s numbers are phenomenal. 0-60 in 3.7 in a car that weighs that much, not to mention that it’s also a comfortable and luxurious people hauler when you want it to be. But after looking at hundreds of photos of this thing, I didn’t know how people were going to put this car in the same category as the drop-dead gorgeous Aston Martin Rapide, and the upcoming Lamborghini ‘four-door coupe’. Yeah, obviously the performance will be similar, but it’s like comparing apples to oranges. This has been the case for Porsches for a while though – function over form, not the other way around.

…and then I saw one.

Dark Blue Panamera Turbo with PCCB, the 20″ BBS wheels – every single option possible was on this car. The guy said he paid somewhere in the “$160,000 range”.

I fell in love the second I laid eyes on it. Take it from me…there is not one single picture of the Panamera out there that does it justice. The car is much lower, wider, prettier, and louder than any picture or video can depict. This thing was so gorgeous – when you see one in person, you’ll know what I mean. This car’s looks have been scrutinized and bashed on by ‘enthusiasts’. But, like I said, wait until you see this car. A thousand times better than they look in the pictures and videos.

AGREE, it looks p H a T in person

Agree with you too Guru. I had a black one behind me today on the highway that I ended up following afterwards. It seemed lower and wider than what I took away from in the photos. It had presence.

It turned into the Broncos’ HQ parking lot. Damn it. I want their paychecks

nice, johnny…and i’m going to vote against the panamera haters…i’ve said it before, but i’ll say it again…it looks a little froggy in the rear in photos, but otherwise it’s a stellar piece of engineering…

You guys are exactly right. DenverGuy, you said it perfectly when you said it has “presence”. That’s a great way to describe it. But if the haters want to hate, let them. Porsche is setting new standards and new rules when it comes to the dynamic abilities of a luxury sports sedan. And they can b*tch and moan about how the back of the car is the ugliest thing they’ve ever seen, that it’s not a true Porsche, etc. That’s undoubtedly BEFORE they ever see the car in person. Hahahaha haters!!! Porsche builds its first sedan in the company’s 61-year history and doesn’t just hit a home run – they hit the ball out of the damn stadium…

Car looks good “in person” until you get to the rear. Definitely Jenifer Lopez from behind; if you like a solid rump this is it (btw I do, bit not THAT solid).

I’ve seen 3 in person, including a gold one at SEMA and a dark blue turbo just like you speak of, guru. Still cant stand the rump. Hideous.

I haven’t seen one, but my uncle came up beheing one on freeway in SD. Said he swore it was Oprah Winfrey on the back of some Navy dudes crotch rocket until he got up next to it.

i saw one today a black one it’s very low wide and looks phenominal in person
im a big porsche fan i ddnt like it first but when u saw it i was shocked i loved it it’s got a lot of presence
here lebanon is full of bmw 7 series and merecedes s 550 and the new e class merc
the thing practically kills those in person
LOVE IT!

I was one of the “waiters” — my car finally arrived at the dealer on Dec 4. Some people are still waiting. To vent my frustration, I made this video:
