Re: Panamera 4S or Panamera Turbo ?

Now comes the best part: He ordered the car and claims that his dealer never told him that there is an optional air suspension available which allows to raise the ride height. I couldn't believe it. He didn't look or sound stupid to me,

sorry no empathy from my side - guy probably spent an hour thinking about which cereal to buy last week but doesnt think about checking the information on buying a new car in this day of internet - 5 minutes online & there it is!

not sure about the Euro build outs; in NA most don't have air suspension but then again a lot of NA has little snow - if the dealor suspected sensitivity to price it might explain the absence of suggestions?

CPA4S:

we got 30 cm Friday but the Cayenne got through, even made the small 50 cm mountain the plow left at the end of the driveway.

This is why I love the Cayenne... (living in Bavaria, this is actually the only Porsche which makes really sense over here )

but the dilema is whether you get a machine that covers 100% of those rare all terrain needs but 80% of the sporty vs the Panamera which does dam near 100% ( GTS) on the sport side and 80% on the all terrain? when i blew through my driveway & out on a mission it was not critical - 2 hours later the guy had come and plowed so any 4 wheel drive car could have ripped out!

in other words i am probably dumping both of mine for a GTS Smiley

Panamera GTS or Cayenne GTS? If you don't need the extra luggage room and ground clearance, the Panamera probably is the better choice. Just be careful: The facelift is just around the corner.

ground clearance is still buggin me but i think that at the end of the day it arises, so to speak Smiley only a few times a year & those are now discretionary at my point.

the space - the Pano has more space than my GTS; the 4 passenger is the biggest delta with the Cayenne. all too many times 5 people seem to pile into the Cayenne & the Pano means 1 has no seatbelt and a hard ass seat or they go in the hatch - can't imagine what the insurance company would say, or what u would say to a relative if that 5th had issues on an impact

Re: Panamera 4S or Panamera Turbo ?

The luggage room on the Panamera is really limited, while the two rear passengers are surely sitting very comfortably. My daughter still loves the higher seating position much more and my wife claims that she gets nausea when driving in the Panamera (may be the excessive acceleration capability though, not necessarily the lower seating position).

I really fell in love with the new Cayenne, so I may be biased.
