    Smiley True and not true... 415bhp and real weight? 1400kg? I've driven it: it's a wonderful car (at least 997), but I think something smaller and lighter could be enjoyable as well and make more sense.

    Re: New Pix

    Sorry if this has already been discussed . . . but it looks to me as though there's not enough room for a manual shifter.  So will this model be PDK only?  Very disappointing and a reduced market (especially in the US) if so.

    Panamera will be offered for some models with both stick and PDK, however in the US, PDK will be standard.

    The interior looks ridiculous. That centre console looks like it belongs on a freight truck or a crane.

    How will Porsche excuse that? I bet they will fall back to their time worn "form follows function". gag.

    Lol. Eventhough I don't have any direct problems with the interior I have to say that the number of buttons is ridiculous. Worst are the dummy buttons which will irritate the hell out of those unable to spec the car with a million options.

    So do you think that a stick will be optional on at least some of the US models?

    As stated in the other thread, stick will be optional in the EU, maybe in the US too.

    The exterior looks like a rounded American station wagon from the 1950s, albeit lacking a rear exit. The inside is too busy with controls.

    Turbo will be PDK only, no stick.

    For the other models, Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera S, Panamera 4S it will depend on the country specs ... this being said, they think, PDK should be over 90% of total sales.
