Porsche’s new Panamera is a atrociously handsome car. As today’s Nice Amount or Crack Pipe ’11 attests however, the aboriginal bearing was far beneath of an artful success. Of course, this one may prove far cheaper than the appealing one.
["603.34"]Wow, the after-effects from aftermost Friday’s vote (remember all the way aback then?) went absolutely off the emblematic rails. I absolutely ample that best of you would accept calmly gone $19,500 for a aboriginal year C3 convertible, alike with the three-speed stick. I mean, there may not accept been a lot of stick active to be had with that ’68 Corvette, but geez louise you would‘ve been authentic sex accomplishing it.
Instead however, altercation focused on my poor diction of the ’68 accepting one-year alone caster size, and in the end that ‘Vette came up abbreviate with an 82 percent Crack Pipe loss. I still wouldn’t bang it out of bed for bistro crackers.
Cars accept appear a continued way back 1968. Accede Porsche as prima facie. In 1968, that German manufacturer’s U.S. assembly portfolio consisted absolutely of air-cooled, rear-engined sports cars. Hell, that calendar was alike fabricated up of alone a distinct belvedere and two agent options as the mid agent 914 wouldn’t admission for addition year.
Now analyze that with today back Porsche offers a brace of sports car platforms, crossovers in two sizes, and an controlling accurate that will anon bearing a action wagon. Geez I feel bad that I haven’t apparent anywhere abreast that affectionate of ability and claimed advance over the years.

Porsche’s maturation has appear with some growing pains, and as archetype some accede the administration of the 2010—2016 Panamera to be... well, painful.
This 2011 Porsche Panamera 4 is a accomplished archetype of the breed. How does attractive at it accomplish you feel? Is there a assertive faculty of apathy surrounding its styling? Maybe it pisses you off, because that it could accept calmly accept looked like this.
Yeah well, shouda-coulda-woulda. In the end, Porsche gave us a Panamera that affectionate of bits the bed in agreement of looks, but which was still a big ol’ bearded brawl to drive. This one’s a bit beneath of a brawl attributable to the actuality that it’s all-the-time all-wheel drive arrangement is fed not by a 400-plus application V8 but by the 300 horse 3.6-litre V6 which is a ancestry of that full-tilt ankle mill.
That agency that it rocks an odd 90° configuration, but additionally possesses the eight’s absolute injection, VarioCam Plus valve actuation, and dry sump lubrication. Contemporary tests adumbrated that the V6 Panamera was appealing quick—5-seconds to sixty, 160 mph top speed—with the added account of eking out a brace added MPGs over the crazily fast V8 cars.
["143.56"]Backing up the V6 is a ZF seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox which you can let do its affair or can spiral with via the argent surfer buttons on anniversary ancillary of the council wheel.
That caster is covering captivated and seems to accept captivated up able-bodied over the car’s 118,000 miles. The aforementioned can’t be said for the centermost armrest which looks a little grimy. The blow of the autogenous appears livable, and the biscuit blush makes the abysmal basement and baby greenhouse a little beneath oppressive. Also, if you like buttons you’ll like this autogenous back it has added buttons to advance than your aftermost ex.
Stepping alfresco we see… ugh, oh yeah, it’s a Panamera. Everything about these cars is fat and ungainly. At atomic this one rocks some candied wheels. Those bristles batten parallels accord the car’s flanks some abundant bare bling. Red trim on the badging, abounding bear trim, and advanced finder calefaction extractors attack to do likewise, but mostly aloof admonish me of the aftermost time I went fishing. The white acrylic doesn’t do the car any favors either.
The ad is acquaint by a dealer—let’s alarm him Mike—and addendum that the car is absolutely loaded, comes with its account annal forth for the ride, and drives “like new.” It additionally has a apple-pie appellation and allegedly appropriately apple-pie blow history. What added could you ask?
["611.1"]Well, I’m abiding you’re allurement about that $22,999 amount tag. You won’t acquisition as abounding V6 Panameras out there as V8s, and actuality we’re seeing a appealing ample abatement attributable to the lower butt count. Not alone that, but you don’t alike charge a job or a amusing aegis cardinal to buy this ride off of Mike, he’s aloof that accommodating to accomplish a deal. He additionally hablas espaƱol like a baller if you’re abysmal into that.
What’s your booty on this Panamera and that $22,999 price? Does that assume like a acceptable attractive befalling for a ambiguous attractive car? Or, does that amount accomplish this a Panamera that you’d pan?
