The 2010 Porsche Panamera 4S is ugly. It's huge and heavy. It's quite simply the finest high-performance sedan money can buy.

"With the exception of the Panamera's awesome skid pad number, which is simply light-years ahead of anything else on the planet with four doors, only the last BMW M5 we tested can match or come close to the Porsche's test numbers. This might give the impression that an M5 could keep up with the Panamera 4S on a mountain road.

Well, it can't. And neither can any other four-door you can think of, including anything else with AMG or M on its deck lid.

Our seat-of-the-pants impressions under the influence of this Porsche's incredible lateral grip tells us that the Panamera 4S will smoke them all on a real road out in the real world. And if it can't, then its big brother, the 500-hp Panamera Turbo, will."

"No sedan out there will hang with it in the tight stuff."

^^^That's just a few quotes. It goes on and on as if its the car to end all cars.

This article makes some crazy claims. Looks aside, this sedan seems to be fantastic. BMW, forget the CTS-V. You look to have a competitor slightly heavier and 150hp less to worry about. It's classic Porsche to not throw in floor mats in a $94,000 car though.

NEW RULE: If you comment, one must mention the alleged performance claims. Its only natural of us to get superficial mighty quick here at AstonMartin2ki.com

 

I wonder why the shifters are buttons and not paddles? Seems like a nice car though, but at 16 ft I have no idea how to drive that thing around the city without being afraid to scratch it (or have other people scratch it).

 

Does it come in stick shift?

PS: Not in love with the outside but I love the inside.

 

Oh i get it, they needed to compete with the X6 in uglyness

 

Dude, reading comprehension escapes you.

 

Evo fq400?

P.s I haven't read the article since I'm on my phone.

 

Not available in the States. Plus, although the Evo might have a chance at the Porsche performance-wise, it's not going to be nearly as good as a grand tourer.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not much more interested in the Panamera than I am in the X6, but reviews suggest that the former is a contender for best all-around sports sedan in existence. Barring aesthetics.

 

Ugly chicks that are great in bed. I guess it's a fair trade

 

^LOL

 

i'd rather own a Evo or a STI any day of the week
both are better looking, offer comparable performance, cost 1/3, and not not nearly as snooty
looks like they mated a 911 to a Dachshund
