Congratulations, the car looks great! What interior panels did you finally choose?
I didn´t capture if you got it delivered at your birthday but it should be safe to congratulate for that one too...
Interiour dark birke, I am not sure if it called so, but very dark wood.
Yeah, I got it on my birthday!
Thanks!
Best birthday present ever for you, Congratulations on both 
Re: My New Panamera turbo
Today I was having a morning coffee outside in a cafeteria and next to me was a white Panamera 4S that looked wonderful 
By coincidence after a few minutes a white (but different shade) Jaguar XF parked behind the Porsche. Honestly, to the eyes of most people there who expressed an opinion, the anglo-indian (
) car looked second rate and not worth a second glance. The white Panamera had lots of presence and power to attract.

Could someone find a link to the endless debates about the Panamera´s design a few months ago? Sounds like the perception has changed by now...
It cartainly has, when I first saw it during the presslaunch in Munich last summer, I didn't like it at all. (I was looking up at it from the drivers seat of a 911, that might have something to do with it
) It looked huge, and the back was just weird. And I have also found that it is very sensitive to color and wheels, all the presslauch cars I saw were in "weird" colors.
But after seeing it on the street and at the dealer (standing up and looking down on it, from that angle it looks low, wide and aggressive), it looks pretty cool, especially in black with the Turbo II wheels

Re: My New Panamera turbo
I really have to say, once again regarding Porsche, that prototype articles and especially the factory press pictures have been very misleading. One of my neighbours just received a platinsilver Panamera with std. Turbo rims and the car does look gorgeous. Even some female friends were positively commenting on that car.
Other than that I agree that certain colours, options and camera angles are rather unfavourable on that particular model...

Even my wife started to warm up towards the Panamera, especially since she saw it once in Miami and now once in the TV show "Royal Pains". She doesn't really like sedans though, she would still prefer the Cayenne (which she doesn't like because it looks too japanese to her). Women...
