Airhead Posted 2March, 2017 Report Share Posted 2March, 2017 I didn't really like the Panamera. Looked like a pregnant 911 a bit. So i decided to turn one into a station wagon as i reckoned it would look better with a straihter roof line. So........... I started building one in my shed. Looks like the factory beat me to it. Guess I'll turn mine into a convertible.http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-revealed-20170301-guoqex.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 2March, 2017 Report Share Posted 2March, 2017 "Up to 170km/h, the spoiler remains in its retracted position"I guess if your spoiler's up here the nanny state you may as well just hand over the keys to plod when you get nabbed.

Airhead Posted 2March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 2March, 2017 Of course the heading should read 'Panamera Wagon'.Looks like the convertible has been done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 2March, 2017 Report Share Posted 2March, 2017 How would she like reverse parking or changing lanes in the behemoth ?Like most wagons/SUVs now , no visibility!This is true for most cars..... they most likely would have reversing cameras/ sensors and you can easily relay on these as you know Of course the heading should read 'Panamera Wagon'. You should be able to edit the heading in your first post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 2March, 2017 Report Share Posted 2March, 2017 It looks better because it has a better rear 3/4 window treatment. The first go at it was awful - I'm still convinced they messed it up so as to not look like a 4 door 911. The wagon here has a much nicer line...which coincidentally looks more 911.

How does one's wife cope on a typically busy day?I frickin' hate SUVs visibility , or lack of.My wife goes well, she has even driven my ML for over a month. I blame the wide angle view mirrors, how did these ever become mandatory!! They are the worst things ever, thankfully mine does not have on the drivers side.I think the Panamera would be much better than a SUV..... albeit with the crook mirrors!

I blame the wide angle view mirrors, Visibility is not a problem until you meet rush hour traffic and all that city angst!The mirrors and A pillars are a disaster. One reason insurance premiums are so high. Moronic logic everywhere these days, including car design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since we need so many of them, lower production costs mean we can effectively compete with PRC. That being said the PRC are trialing a compelling version of their own on Melbourne streets, most commonly seen in, yikes, Cayenne or Macan.

Back in till the rear rims almost touch the gutter, then go a bit more so they scrape, then pull forward, and just to be sure go forward a bit more till that one scrapes too.Then pretend I'll never notice the fresh gutter rash on black GTS rims...
