Panamera Sport Turismo

[Deleted User 1874]

Last one I went to (991.2) at Silverstone was very crowded, so not that great an experience. Would rather pop in when the showroom is empty for a proper look around and a chat.

Nobody goes to see the car though - this is just to blag free wine

Yeah, lots of fat blokes in suits eating and drinking at the one I went to and even if it was a secondary reason to be there, they were still crowding around the cars regardless. Not my scene really, so won't be going to any further launch events. But I do quite enjoy an impromptu visit to the OPC once in a while.

When's the next dinner party?

I got an invite to the launch at Belfast, don't think I will bother as its an hours drive each way to look at a car that really doesn't appeal to me.

I have had an invite for Tewkesbury. I wasn't going to bother but perhaps we should all go!

So, Dandock (Mike) and Ian G, are we going to arrange a mini forum meet up (along with any other forum members who've had an invite to Tewkesbury) ?

12th Oct at Ton. Anyone going?

Was looking forward to accepting invite to Leeds OPC on 17 Oct ........ until the Good Lady told me I was needed elsewhere!

Pencil me in, Simon. We've got a trip the next day but I should be OK.

I don't think I can make it. Sorry. Don't you think it looks like a big estate car from the back though?

Great, Mike. Will you join us, Ian G?

Edit. Just seen your post.

Hmm - kind of. Opinions seem to be split on the looks.

My saloon version definitely has more '911' about it in the rear lines/design.

The Sport Turismo isn't actually that much more practical. It does have a larger rear hatch, with a lower loading lip. The main advantage seems to be more headroom for rear passengers (well, two of them) and easier entry/exit at the rear due to slightly bigger rear doors and a very marginally taller roof.

I look forward to seeing it in the metal...
