1) Porsche officially stated that due to poor sales (less than 4% of all Panameras sold so far), they stated that newer-built Panameras will NOT have stick shift anymore. You want a stick shift Porsche (7-speed manual), get the a 997 (the new 911 Carrera S).

2) AWD>RWD

3) Yes I agree with you on this following statement. I don't know why people say the Panamera is ugly......but whatever.

Here's a Turbo S version.



It's ****ing amazing

 

Saw it last night at the L.A. Auto Show.

I didn't like it when it came out due to its bulbous rear, but it keeps becoming more and more appealing to me now.

Red helps...

 

For me, the red does not help the looks.

I see a white and also a blue one all the time and love it!

 

Not a big fan of white....I do love the blue as well

 

I am on a white kick because I live off a dirt road and cannot do any less than 45 on it

 

I think my cocaine white/PDW days are over...think I'm sticking with black
