los angeles 2014 porsche panamera exclusive series debuts

In the market for a new Panamera, yet fear it may be a tad pedestrian? Porsche’s got you covered.

For just $264,895 to start — approximately the same base price for the Rolls-Royce Ghost — one can purchase the Panamera Exclusive Series, based upon the Turbo S Executive.

Each of the 100 limited-edition models possess a 4.8-liter turbocharged V8 upfront that will send 570 horses with 590 lb-ft of overboosted torque to all four corners. The sedans also receive a hand-painted two-tone suit, 20-inch wheels, multi-toned Italian leather, and a newly developed entertainment system — dubbed plus — to keep your friends entertained. The more jet-set crew can enjoy made-to-measure luggage, as well.

That center console/center dash contraption thingy looks like its from a 747. And I don't mean that in a good way.

Those wheels are some ghastly retro nonsense, and do NOT fit on that car. And the price is too high. And this is not an "Executive Express" type chauffeur vehicle. And it's ugly.

MaintenanceCosts (1) Crash program to redesign all of the interiors, now, to banish all evidence of cost-cutting and have at least as much flash as current Mercedes.(2) XT6 gets the 3.0T engine. Both XT6 and XT5 get an Acura-style AWD system that will make them stop feeling so much like front-drivers.(3) XT6, XT5, and CT5 all get a restyle along the lines of the '89 restyle of the DeVille and co. - that is, add length even with overhang if you have to, add swagger, add fancy.(4) New platform for large unibody SUVs, either electric or hybrid, to compete straight across with the top two Range Rover models. If they are going to be a real luxury brand they need SUVs more refined than the Escalade. Keep selling the Escalade alongside the new ones for the existing cigarette-boat audience.(5) XT4 and CT4 get put out of their misery, or maybe brought back as Buicks.
Jkross22 Cadillac - We took over the sport sedan market (what's left of it) from BMW. Oh and we also have this Escalade that everyone loves and this EV that looks like Peugeot designed it.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I would only buy with manual. Even if the auto is repaired, it will most likely fail again. Just a bad design.
Fed65767768 This is a good buy despite the mods, as unlike most Focii this old there's little rust.
Ashley My father had a '69 Malibu that I took cross-country with a lot of detour on the way back. It was OK, but nothing spectacular, and after I got back he had nothing but trouble with it until it finally died in 1974. I had a Malibu rental in 2003 and at one point parked it next to a restored '69 in a shopping center parking lot in Redding, CA. I imagine the two of them had lots to discuss while we were eating at the restaurant inside.
