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.
i understand the need for a daily driver, don't get me wrong.

i'm a bmw enthusiast, and it was nice having the x5 come out, like the cayenne. but when bmw released the new m3 as a 4 dr version, it was a let down to be honest. the m5 was the 4 door cruiser, the m3 was the sporty "nice weather" (even though it is a daily driver). i feel similar to porsche, cayenne is the one you pack up with your family, and the rest (besides the boxster-weak haha) are for having fun. i've been in porsches plenty, and i do think they are amazing cars. but if you want a sedan, stick to mercedes, hell, stick to the cayenne in my book. i guess its hard to wrap my mind around a 4 door sporty porsche. whats next, you get your 4 door version of your lambo? ;)
