RC, it seems you are really getting old...[sarcasm] ...just think of the "unadulterated driving pleasure" this model would have given to you [sarcasm]......at least, Porsche seems to have a very good media department...
Yes, I'm getting old (so do you and everybody else on this planet ) but the reason I find cars like the Panamera or the Cayenne interesting, is simple: I have a family, I don't live alone. With kids and a wife who owns a couple of dozen of pairs of shoes , I really need a lot of interior room in my daily driver.
I have two choices: I could drive a 911 GT3 or Turbo but would have to limit myself to the Mini Countryman as a family car. Or I could get a decent family car, like the Cayenne Turbo or the Panamera Turbo (S) and keep the Mini Countryman as a car for...my wife to move the kids on a daily basis. I prefer the latter because the 911 would be used on weekends only and mostly in summer time or spring. Not really worth it (anymore).
I know, I will miss the 911 but I have no choice. I can't risk my family's well being just for some rare weekend fun. Not worth it.
