P4GTR Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Porsche has been doing a superb job lately. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm a Porsche man, always have been. I've owned a 1989 944 Turbo. I'm not sold on this new direction they are taking. The Cayenne is ok but it's basically a supped up Touareg. The boxter loooks like [censored] and the Cayman just doesn't do it. Their four door Panamera might be the ugliest thing I've ever seen! Maybe it's me. I love the 911 and I've always been a sucker for a 928 and a 914 or 916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Michael Mauer has a quite entertaining watch collection. From time to time I have to do with him (worked for Porsche a few years, now Porsche is my client) and it is always nice to see what he has on his wrist. BTW he was responsible for the SLK and SL Benz in the mid nineties. The Saab 9-3 is designed by him, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this car weren't a Porsche, it'd be mostly very well-liked. Because it's a Porsche, it has to fit in with a certain ethos for some reason. I say forget the badge and appreciate the car.

chefcook Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 BTW the Panamera is incredibly good fun on the road. It does about 95% of what a Benz S-class or a 7 series BWM does, but if you want to it corners more then well. If one does not have a direct comparison it does not feel very different from a GT car with 500kg less and it is actually very quick, not only on the straights: W.

chronoluvvv Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 looks like a 911 swallowed a Mazda MPV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 It's a nice car, but why isn't Porsche concentrating on sports cars? Seem their newest releases have been 4wds, Suvs, now luxury 4drs. I'm a 911 or 914 kind of guy, so this one doesn't thrill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 It's a nice car, but why isn't Porsche concentrating on sports cars? Maybe because they're already making enough for anyone that wants one to buy one. It makes sense to sell into other luxury areas if you can.

freddy333 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Lovely car (I see alot of the current SLK design in the dash layout) except for the center console between the front seats. It looks like an amusement park water slide that was tacked on (with too many features) as an after-thought. 'Oh, we forgot to include this, so lets put it there. Oh & I see some empty space left there, so we should add a couple new gizmos to make it look more complicated.' Which is too bad, because the interior is well done otherwise.
