I strongly supported that idea when Porsche first announced the Cayenne. The first year it was out I wouldn't even look at it. Now I own one. I think what car companies have done smart is recognize that people who like to drive don't want to be limited to the track or a few hours on a nice weather weekend day. The first time I drove my E55 I was shocked that a car that is so fast could also be so comfortable and easy to drive in any condition. I think the Panamera raises the bar for all the manufacturers of sports *cruisers*. I've owned and driven a lot of different cars and to date the Panamera does it all just a bit better than everyone else.
That being said,today is a nice weather day and I am getting my 993 aircooled cabrio 6sp fueled up and ready for a run through the twistys.
