The Panamera is just a boat, looking big even next to a Cayenne of the previous gen, and inside it is all about buttons and switches, something surely showy but not really user friendly, and it didn't feel like something really premium, just high-tech-ish at best, like in those cell phones that pretend to do everything, except to go to work for you. Couldn't imagine why to spend that money after I tried the interior of the new XJ, that's an executive sedan! Even the "aging" Quattroporte felt like a better and more special place, but I'm kinda biased on that.
So what's Porsche doing right lately?
Uhm, oh well, uhm... no, the GT3 and GT3 RS are not enough, not anymore, and the last GT2 was even less interesting than the 996 models which were highly criticized for not begin built for homologation purposes.
The Cayman has been basically left out in the cold to preserve the 911, which is like the Peugeot 206, just for richer men. Everyone wants one, especially those who don't know much about cars and need something immediately recognizable by chicks (which may eb the same with some Ferraris, no doubt, still they make more sense to me).
Oh, and that new super-hyper concept car, that's not going to make much of a difference I believe, being also quite too similar to the Carrera GT in my book.
Keep this 928, Jaguar XK for me.
EDIT: Albert, I wouldn't buy a car NOW from a company which is NOW doing something I don't agree with, that's for sure.
