Was in my OPC today for the wheel centres to be exchanged and they were just setting up for the Panamera Sport Turismo launch, what a beautiful looking car, first impression why would you buy the normal hatchback when you have this option , love at first site ;)

I take it you are not serious. I went to the Mid Sussex presentation on Wednesday and up close it looks quite ungainly. Too big and impractical. I cannot believe that anyone would spend over £100k on such a car.

No I really liked it, thankfully we all have different likes but I really liked the rear end especially, sorry 🙁 but I agree I wouldn’t spend that sort of money on one

+1. I like it too! As you say, we all like different things. Some have said the Sport Turismo is more attractive than the saloon version, and one of the best looking 'estate cars' ever! Some are less impressed with the looks! :shock:

Had it been available when I ordered my Panamera, I may well have been tempted. But I do like the '911' style rear end of mine, and it's big enough for my needs. :D

I can see why the sport tourismo would appeal to some people but the new style Panamera is, IMO, a very well sorted car looks wise (and probably drive wise but have never driven one). The ST I think detracts from those looks but gives a greater degree of practicality. It’s going to be a winner for sure

I like the look of it, but it is too long for me.

What's 9.5 inches between friends?! :lol:

Seriously though, since getting my Panamera, I have found it surprisingly easy to drive around, including parking. :)

When you look at the rear quarter it does look like a lowered Macan if you get my drift, I hope when the Gen 2 Macan come out they have the spoiler within the spoiler as I liked that 😉

Presume that’s a blokes 9.5 inches 😉 I really do think the Panamera is a very underrated car, I had the Hybrid for a week and was really impressed how good it was and like you say easy to drive and park 👍
