The new 911 twin turbo is fantastic. While there cars have become "blah" these days. There is no denying porsche makes a steller car. Just getting played out

The have been real pictures of the Panarama (found through Google) for months.

Some might be fake Photoshops, like this one. Looks like an altered 911.

Something is wrong with this pic. Does it have suicide doors? It doesn't look like the other pictures.

Porsche going after that high end sedan market. I love the Ferrari engined Maserati Quattroporte which this car will compete with and destroy in sales if not in performance. Although I'm sure it will in that arena as well.

That car (Maserati) reminds me a little of the new Jag XK, minus the extra doors, though.

I really like the convertible version, but $70k to $80k for a car that would be worth less than half of this price in 4 years is a no-no. I can wait 4 years to buy this car. It would definately be worth $30k to $35k to me in another 4 years.

The interior is pure tits:

The only problem I have with the Maserati is the air intakes on the sides. It makes it look like a Buick imo. Give me a 612 scaglietti please! 600 horses in a lap of luxery!

I checked other pics of the 612 scaglietti and the sides (doors) remind me of the '55 Corvette.

I love that car. Some would say it is plain. I think it is a work of art. Do you like it?

The side view I was thinking, "Man, that's a beautiful car". And it still is, however, I saw some other pics and it made my nose wrinkle. I do like it, though. I'd definately pic the Jag over the Ferrari if I had the option (in 4 years I will have that option) as I know price-wise and insurance-wise, I'll be able to afford it.

Wow, lucky guy. Look into the Aston Martin line if you like the jag. Beautiful cars.

I know. The A.M. is bad-ass and I'll never be able to get one of those. The Jag is really biting their style, too, however, they're more affordable. Kinda like how Kia and Hyundai is biting on Lexus and other cars.

I probably won't change my mind in 4 years as the last XK model lasted 10 years without significant changes and I've always like the look of the XK.

Not a big fan of the 612, it's certainly an amazing car but when I see it it just doesn't do anything for me. Also, it's only two doors, it's a luxurious GT but without the benefit of two more doors like the Quattroporte. I love coupes but there is just something beautiful about a sedan that is beautiful and a great performer.

The most beautiful 2 door front engine car I've ever seen is the Aston Martin Vanquish. It's simply stunning. I was floored at how beautiful it was. You have to see it in person to get the full power of it's appeal.

Oh, and that Jaguar XK has more than a little Aston Martin Vantage in it, or should I say the Vantage has more than a little XK in it.

Ford's going to sell Aston Martin, the direction Aston takes in the future should be interesting to see.

Yes, AS makes some stunning models. I love the db9

That Porsche loks like a nice car (especially the interior) but I still prefer the Aston Martin anyday. All I need is a nice lottery win......

The Ason Martin Rapide, is the four door car that Aston "might" build it looks sexier than the pics that I posted above, which are not photoshops. I will post pics of the Rapide

Ferrari's are the Kings of Luxury Exotics, no one comes close...

Bentley is king when it comes to luxury exotics imo. Ferrari would be number 2 on my list. All Bentley's coupes and sedans have huge horspower/performance to go along with the extreme quality and craftsmanship. All the B's sport v12's or twin turbo v8's pushing 600 ponies. The gt and the gtc make the 612 (which I adore) look outdated. The 599 Ferrari is gorgeous so that can compete with the the gt/spur. But, honestly the 599's styling is not in the same league as that new gtc roadster. The car is simply breathtaking. The Bentleys are more luxurious and perform on about the same level as the Ferraris! I would still take the 599 over a Bentley gt. But, def not the gtc. Sexy ride!

The Ferrari has something very important that the bently doesn't........... Awesome handling.

body88 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:23:58 AM »

The new gt and the gtc can handle

The Bentley is on par with a Ferrari in most perfomance stats. The Bentley may not be quite as good on the track. But as a whole package, the Bentley is better imo.

I love the 599. Either car is fantastic. The new 430 is also incredable.

Class? Are you sure class is the word that fits your point best?

body88 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2006, 07:02:16 AM »

The new twin turbo 911 is the best everyday supercar ever created. All the modern comfort/convenienceses. With wicked performance and looks. You can drive it for long distances and use it all the time. Unlike most exotics which cannot be used like a day to day driver.

Porsche has become "blah" because they have gotten to popular. You see about 6 911's per day. Christ, I see them at whole foods in affluent areas like they are bmw's now.

In the world of supercars worldwide mainstream success is a double edged sword. Porsche is becoming more and more like Mercedes.
