I hate how the American car companies are always doing these special editions that are nothing more than different wheels and decals. I mean... wait... Porsche is an American company aren't they?




no....




so when did Porsche start copying Ford?

Middle East edition? Really?

Should at least come with an upgraded HVAC unit and more vents... or just a bare metal body in preparation for gaudy matte paint job and stupid editions.. along with a $5,000,000 license plate.




Oh and Rockville - THIS is the 'Ford' of supercars..

Middle East Edition should include a chrome paint job and a spinning trunk.

Well.. you can't really blame the manufacturer for trying to make more money.
If that 'special edition' only requires a stupid plaque stamped on to a regular Panamera 4S and sells for a hefty premium in return, why wouldn't they?
Not sure who the stupid ones are.
What's with the '6' in middle east countries anyway?

Of course. This is why we have many "special edition" Mustangs as well. Some people get bent out of shape when Ford does the same thing as Porsche.
