Porsche Panamera Interior

I dig it, but the interior doesn't scream I'm worth a lot more than an Audi to me. After all the dust settles, it's a full leather interior with some gizmos found on a lot of other cars. Seriously. This is sorta the reason why I'm not quite fond of buying luxury cars new because there's really nothign more there. Mercs in the 80s had memory seats, navi can be had on honda fits, nice wood trim can be found in low end lexuses, etc etc. Yeah, it'll perform quite well but what's the point if it needs constant expensive servicing?
Still, I'm sure itll be quite the panty dropper and stir up conversations at the country club.

Wait until you guys see it in person. It's even better. And the tactile feel of the materials and switches is fantastic.
Plus, compared to the German competition this car feels like the interior is very spacious.
As I said before... it's too bad about the ugly styling on the outside but if Porsche can convince people to test drive them... they might just sell a bunch.

Beige interiors rarely look good. Give to me in black.
This car is going to be siq. I like that they didn't go with the typical sedan look. It'll be distinct and that's a good thing. I'm sure it's going to drive awesome.

Performance-wise I'm sure it's a killer, but appearance-wise both the interior and exterior are about as exciting as a Hyundai Genesis.

That's high praise. Are you sure the Panamera is worthy of that? The Genesis is generating a LOT of excitement.

That interior is pure perfection. I love it. I saw the pricing for the car, though, and it seemed a bit high (big surprise given it's a Porsche). Nonetheless, if I had the dough and already had my d.i. 911S or Cayman S, I'd buy one, even if the exterior is less than stellar. Prior to this, I thought the CLS was as good as luxury car interiors get.
