100 percent better audio mix. Thank you for letting us hear ICE.

[@dohc1067]

It's one of the best sports sedans in the world 🌎. I am glad Porsche did not get crazy with the front end like some other European brands.

[@CalvinHikes]

I refuse to call the panamera beautiful but this is a better looking car than previous models. The interior is handsome as well.

[@beekaye1496]

Porsche engineers are top notch and so innovative.

[@ssjlkrillin]

As a Panamera owner, I'm glad mine has analog gauges and real buttons.

[@faheemabbas3965]

I don’t like what Porsche is doing with their newer cars, ditching the analog gauges and physical buttons for all digital crap. Porsche, as much as I hate to say it, has hit their peak already. It’s only going to be decline and disappointment from now on…

[@Pro_photo1]

Beautiful sedan

[@portermcsorley]

I like the new front end. The little grille above the license plate reminds me of the 944 Turbo and S2 for some reason.

[@user-ie1hg5ov1m]

I like your taste for obvous reasons

[@thomasmacgruber6701]

Porsche, if you need a real world test of the E-Hybrid, I will take one for a year and put it throughbits paces. Just saying.

[@davidbaron6647]

outstanding

[@timhiltonsuperstar]

Great looking car! 🎉

[@roberthoyt7921]

Not a 3rd-gen model at all. Instead, it's only a heavily-revised version of the outgoing-gen model that was on sale since 2016-2017. Still looks nice nevertheless.

[@TheKingkingg]

Awesome

[@runningdebate2670]

Debating between this Turbo Hybrid or a Cayenne Turbo GT, wife says i can only get one 😢

[@Fr3sHbOi1000]

Your wife runs you?

[@runningdebate2670]

@Fr3sHbOi1000 Well she's a plastic surgeon making 7 figures so I like to respect her a bit.

[@hottub2249]

Upmarket = north of $200k 😑

[@CheesusSVT]

Porsche makes some amazing cars... But imagine the repair bill when something eventually breaks. 🙈

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Is this considered a "Sedan" or a Coupe?

[@crouchb15]

Yes

[@blackice7408]

Sedan/hatchback

[@eddieg6436]

A sedan has 4 doors, a coupe has 2 doors. …….in recent years some people call 4 doors “coupes” because of their sloping roof…..they’re NOT coupes, and the people saying this are WRONG. (Mercedes CLS started this trend).

[@nateisright]

Hard to lose that Bawmor accent.

[@billyn1155]

Nice

My New Dream Car

[@NHRA_FREAK]

Great lines

[@tikimaka1]

Steering wheel is optional for $500.

[@CoolHand273]

couldn't think of a better way to burn $30K in a year than buy a panamera. looks a lot better though.

[@flat6gts]

Agreed. Never buy a Porsche SUV or sedan new (especially EV). Buying a 2 year old CPO unit is the best approach since it will be $30k cheaper than new, and there is 4 years of warranty on it (2 original plus 2 CPO).

[@kevinbarry71]

You experienced the car? Maybe next time you should drive it

[@PhillyDee215]

Does Porsche make better vehicles than Mercedes-Benz?

[@trance9158]

Yes.... But one is more sport and the other is more luxury.

[@chemjam92]

Porsche makes better vehicles than everyone.

[@JohnEvans-ct6mz]

Everyone makes better vehicles than Mercedes Benz does right now.😂

[@MichaelJones-xl1uu]

No they can't come close to the AMG King of the roads.

[@trance9158]

@@MichaelJones-xl1uu want to post proof of your claim?

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Looks between a 928 and a 911.

[@jaydibernardo4320]

"...decidedly upmarket " : You can't afford it.

[@virgilpalmer2427]

Hybrids are not a good investment if that battery goes bad .. I'd take a simple combustion engine every time...

[@TheRasta4ri]

Looks like old updated Pontiac grand prixck

[@jasonanderson1407]

Boring

[@stingray120]

Ugliness is standard on all models.

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

It’s beautiful unlike the first generation 🐋

[@649649649134]

Come on you don't believe your own comment! You might not like the car but you are calling it ugly just to put the wind up Porsche fans. The price might be ugly, but the car isn't.

[@waykool698]

Not like you’re driving down to your Porsche dealer to put a deposit down. 🤣💀🤡

What a monstrosity. Turbo hybrid lol with dual clutch transmission. Get a Tesla model S and destroy this piece of junk to fatherland

[@stevemcgowen]

Imagine supporting someone like Elon Muzk...

[@CM-nd7mx]

Why the Panamera vs the Model-S? Did you mean vs the Taycan Turbo-GT (Oh I know - mouthful)?

[@paulm6481]

@@CM-nd7mx no, Taycan is model 3 sized

[@MauriceBln1]

Are you seriously comparing Tesla with Porsche?

[@CM-nd7mx]

@@paulm6481 i would look at the specs again dude. Not only is the Taycan 10 inches longer (1 inch smaller than ModelS) it’s also significantly heavier. There’s a reason the comparisons for the past few years have been Taycan/ModelS and NOT M3

[@geemanbmw]

Topsy Turvy and curves and things....what! 🫨🤪
