Nice review, thanks for posting.  Looking  forward to a complete set of pictures. Regarding other posts, I'm not concerned about low recent sales of the Panamera. Numbers always drop before a generation change.  I also agree that, while Audi S8 is certainly a fine car,  Panamera is in a different driving and handling class.  It should be, at the extra cost. Overall it seems like Porsche has made a massive improvement from what I can see and read so far.
