I'm beginning to reevaluate my position on automatic transmissions. At least this one...

This statement is one which gentlemen cannot refute.
Those cars are growing on me... not enough to replace the 911 in my heart, but I am willing to admit the Panamera and the Cayenne are saving the brand from the wolves at the door, or at the least the accountants at the door.
I'll take a blue GTS touring wagon...

Yes, how does that happen? Was your Veryon in for service?
I would drive the E36 M3 out of that thing!
Or, more likely, I would drive the E36 M3 INTO that thing!
Meaning I would probably poo in the seat...perverts...

That is quite pretty!

Two days later: Clutch pedals are stupid.
I don't really see it as ugly. People love the 911, this looks just like a 911, but longer. The length was done very, very well. The proportions are still good, and it's actually usable. 15 years from how it's going to be a heckuva used car bargain.

I'm more of a looks good, feels good kind of guy myself...
Love the plate:
There is a lady that lives on our street that got a GTS over last summer. I heard that thing before I saw it, man did it sound sweet, and like others have said the looks are growing on me.
Having also driven one, I would agree.

That was a concept, never entered production despite EVERYONE ON EARTH saying how much better looking it was.
Too bad it's just about the ugliest car this side of an Aztek to look at. Porsche needs to understand that they don't have to make all of their cars look like a 911.
A guy in my building has a GTS for himself and a Bimmer X5M for the wife. Obviously not short of a farthing or two. Says they both pass anything but a gas station.

It hasn't entered production yet, but that's not to say that it couldn't still.
Anyone here driven this along with an M5? Or a E55 or S6? I am curious if the extra money is worth it. I also realize that a 2010 M5 is a 5 year old design at that point but it makes 80hp on S model for less money!
Here is a nice example of 2008 with a proper clutch

I think that it was originally ordered by a Pimp.

I like'em. One of out local hotshoe drivers brought out a Turbo-S model and was rolling 4 deep every run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWmhanAWhEs That was pretty much everyones reaction after riding in it.
Friend of mines Boss had a Turbo version and let my friend take it out and flog it for an hour. He says it is the fastest thing he has ever driven and this is a guy that has owned a bunch of high power DSMs and many motorcycles (no Modern liter bikes though).

Its still ugly, and for what it costs it shouldn't be.
