RIP Sport turismo body style, at least 100 times better looking than the regular hatch

[@J_Starr007]

That color is mesmerizing, it looks perfect on this car, my cousin has a '24 not a Turbo S, just a Turbo and it is a car like no other, it's Pedigree and overall engineering justifies it's price, it drives like NOTHING else.

[@beardown6574]

Damn this looks great! The color is fantastic! The suspension trick is really cool. The transformer move with the rear wing is wild! Okay the center seat in the rear is just silly lol

Remote is like a Corolla & seats are like 1990s vehicle. 0-60mph in 2.8sec which a 50k Tesla model 3 performance can easily do. Plus plenty space in the frunk. Only thing I like is the color that all. I have tried XIaOMI SU7 in China, It’s a Smart car with top Battery & Powertrain. Built Quality is also not less than Germans. Also Ford CEO is loving the vehicle from last 6 months.

[@enzomatos2307]

that colour is just so outlandishly cool, one day i'll be able to afford a paint to sample like that

[@enzomatos2307]

nevermind its not paint to sample, but regardless lol

[@IceTTom]

You might be able if you can say the word COLOR correctly…

[@rogermouton2273]

3:36 I worked out why it costs so much. Evidently, it has a magic powertrain that converts a 30 mile electric range into 80 km.

9:06 that control panel is unacceptably wobbly. That thing should be solid as a rock, not squishy

[@patricebaumel]

You'd have to be crazy to spend 250k for something as ordinary as a Panamera. Depreciation is monstrous on these. Also, you could get a second hand 911 GT3 AND a luxury sedan for less than that.

[@eggbirdtherooster]

“Ordinary as a Panamera”? It’s a Porsche! A high-end brand.. what did you expect..? 🤔 THIS, for me is THE PERFECT car that does it all! The perfect allrounder with imo gorgeous looks and a proper V8! Top notch! 🙏🏼

[@Lorentz_Driver]

Agree but a Panamera is far from ordinary

Enough with the screens! I love the simplicity of my old summer car. No information overload. Nothing to distract me from the joy of driving. Even if I had a billion dollars to spend, I wouldn't want this car.

[@johanfolkesson5170]

I totally agree. Of course, I don’t know your old summer car, but I too would probably prefer that.

I'll never understand People complaining about a Price for a Top of the Line Model like this when there are other Porsche Panameras, new and used older ones that are super affordable and just as reliable and just as fun as well. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@percilenis8464]

@@chartreux1532the average KZbin viewer is not buying cars priced over 30k let alone 250k. This serves no journalistic purpose, that is the point he’s making. Personally I think it’s still cool to see cars I would never even consider buying but given Doug has been steadily decreasing his reviews of normal cars in favour of very rare cars coupled with his insistence of re-reviewing the same car half a dozen times and making “think pieces” on market price manipulation, it’s annoying to see the majority of the content be quite frankly unrelatable or blatantly self-serving. Doug’s videos used to feel like he’s having fun exploring cars and telling us about it. Ever since he started Cars and Bids it’s now just Doug trying to get everyone to use his website. It’s annoying.
