Fun! Spouse had a Panamera loaner recently. She loved the luxe quality and our son was bowled over by it, but she said it was a bit of a slug (base engine.) Ultimately, she was really glad to get back in the Boxster.

Mated with a properly powerful engine, it would be pretty amazing. But it feels BIG. Probably isn't longer, though, than the X5. It just seems like it is.

Just built a 4S and it was about $50,000 more than our X5 V8. With even less functionality, because the rear seat only holds two.

I thought the "wagon" version has a 3 seat rear option

I know it’s hard to see given the camouflage paint job, but there’s a 3er coupe in that photo that clearly needed more downforce. Because things get really floaty on I-84 at 70mph.

1985 Merkur XR4Ti by Paul Balze, on Flickr

Saw this XR4Ti today (not my pic). It was very clean. Wildly, this is the second XR4TI I saw on the PA TPK this weekend. They always make me think of JST.
