Thanks guys, I'm not 100% sure what I want to do. I think the past two years I drove the NSX 1000 miles.

When you guys have kids you will understand that priorities change. No more car shows or meets. Prefer a car I can enjoy with my kids so thinking a Panamera GTS right now. It's a true sports car with back seats and a huge trunk

Sorry, its not a sports car. Its a highpowered luxury sedan. No such thing as a 4 door sports car.

^what about sti or evo? isn't that a technically a 4dr sports car

Well we all have our opinions but I think the masses can agree the M5 and E63 are certainly capable sport cars that just hahppen to have 4-doors. These class of cars will crush the majority of so-called sports cars until you throw in the heavy hitters.

The GTS is the N/A iteration of the Turbo and with 430hp and 0-60 of 4 seconds and 12.7 quarter mile it certainly is no slouch. I drove one and the exhaust bark is amazing, even more so than the 4S sport exhaust. With only 70 less hp than the turbo model, this car is right up there with other sport sedans in this class and size. Also the PDK tranny is the best in the business. In sport mode it shifts with aggressive authority for sure and I love the ability to fold the seats down to carry large objects such as paintings


I'm going from my M3 and IS-F to something larger, looking to upgrade, not downgrade. I consider the EVO/STI boy toys and for the younger crowd IMO.

I would definetly go for the Panamera GTS!
I have seen them driving around here and they sound awsome and look great!
The Mercedes CLS AMG or 4 door BMW 6-series is maybe also a nice option.
I myself wouldn't go for a M5 or E-class. They look to ordinary...

Nice! Panamera GTS is nice for sure! Do you race any of your cars?

i was actually referring to my post above, where he said there is no such thing as a 4 door sports car

dewey

my friend has a 2012 panamera S and that thing with 400hp is a beast... i would definitely go for gts in white!

Selling a car like this, you will regret it for the rest of your life. If theres no other choice, i would get an M5.

Both the CLS and new 6-series sedan are super sexy cars. I saw them on the showroom floor but if you are over 6' tall, the rear swooping roof gives you very little headroom and is not comfortable. Plus those are sedans thus not as much cargo room.

One thing I love about the Pana is that it's actually hatchback so if you fold the seats down and remove the rear shelf cover, you can load almost a sofa in there (though I would never do that...haha)


True both the EVI and STI are nice sport sedans too, just not my cup of tea that's all


Yup the "S" is a RWD model with 400hp, the "4S" is the 4WD version and the "GTS" is 4WD + 30 extra hp and the awesome sounding exhaust!


LOL I don't need to sell this, just thinking after 4+ years of ownership it might be time to let someone else enjoy the car. I love the car but just looking at options, life is too short!

Most likely I will just sell one of my other cars and keep the NSX
