Thumbs up from a Porsche Panamera Turbo - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Stopped next to a Panamera Turbo today. If I were wealthy I would own one. Incredible performance with real live comfortable seating for four. Great family car if you can afford it. Anyway the guy looks over and I point at his car and give him a big thumbs up. He smiles and returns the gesture pointing at the Camaro.
Totally different cars but mutual respect. Pretty cool.

its a beautiful car.

Personally, ugly as sin. Then again, I think all Porsche's are ugly. Classmate's father has the Panamera... disgusting car...

TLSTWIN · 01-20-2011, 08:12 PM

ya, I didn't like the photos of them when I first saw them, but I just walked around one today. Very nice cars......but not for $80,000+

I will keep my camaro thank you......even though the panamera is faster in 0 to 60 (3.8 seconds) wow....I think I would rather have the CTS-V

and still have $20,000 left over....

Fogey · 01-20-2011, 09:02 PM

Yes it is ugly but it is awesome

Synerbee · 01-20-2011, 09:05 PM

Always nice when people have respect for other cars

That Porsche is sick. The interior is really nice. I think people from all walks of life can appreciate the camaro. It crosses all socioeconomic boundaries

Even if I had the money, I would not own a Panamera. It is blasphemy for Porsche to have 4 doors..same goes for the Cayenne.
Sign me up for a GT2 RS though.

The rump is too much for me, but it looks better in person than in pictures. Why couldn't Porsche do what Aston Martin did with the Rapide...it's like pure sex on wheels

gm2376 · 01-21-2011, 12:30 PM

That may possibly be the ugliest Porsche of all time.....why would they do that? I understand trying to expand their market....but it's scary to look at.

kobSS · 01-21-2011, 12:34 PM

It is a bit of an odd concept with the Panamera having such a fat ass... But I actually really like them. I've seen a couple around town that have done some small customization and I think they look killlller. If I had that level of income though, i'd probably pick something else.

I like them as well...and I doubt Porsche went into the 4-door sedan to satisfy the pure performance enthusiasts.

I think Porsche was smart doing it...

I happen to love the Panamera...a great package for sure. Yaughting blue with the blue and tan interior is stunning.

But I just don't think the car is worth the money they are asking. Remember: 40% of that price is blue sky just for the exchange rate...ouch.
