Going to start the process off next week with my local OPC to see if a Sport Turismo is going to be my next car. The wife has decided she's keeping her Cayman for the long term (hates the noise the 718 makes) and while I like my current GTS to the point where I've considered keeping it for several years I need to see if the new Panamera if stacks up as a possible replacement before making that decision.

If I get one it will probably look something like this:

I drove a Panamera 4SD for a day and thought it was a great car. But to me, the Sport Turismo just looks like a huge estate car. Although more practical, I don’t really like the look. But I bet it is a great car - will be intersecting to know how you get on

Panamera is a great car, having covered 17k miles in mine in the last 12 months. :)

I briefly toyed with swapping to a Sport Turismo. Had I done so, would have gone for Sapphire also...

Are you fed up of seeing Carmine red outside your house?!

Great colour but a bit of an ugly duckling sadly.

With standard front & rear parking sensors, I have found my Panamera not too bad at all for parking and manoeuvres etc. :ugeek: (Saloon version & Sport Turismo are same length.)

Too big for me but I think the sporting estate (have had a couple of Avants) is a great format, seems to be no real performance penalty and very practical. I guess the Tourisimo is nearer this classic ........

Ah, yes. Always loved the Reliant Scimitar, and those Wolfrace wheels! :)
