I like the Panamera, but Rize (despite keeping those two fine dogs which I ain't forgot yet ) is spot-on with the M5.

It is still the class of the field.


Yea looking at magazine races it appears the newest M5 is a monster.

However, I would like to see a comparison between a Panamera turbo and an M5 on the same tires.

M5 comes stock with PS4s while the Panamera comes with Continentals. Would like to see the Panamera on some Pilot Sports

Hilarious.

Nearly all mid engine cars share the same lines. Get over it.

Would love to have a c8 vette. The C7s are nice, but the C8s will be better (but agree that 2nd model year might be wiser).

Nothing wrong with driving a fast sporty car.

I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate.

I’ll wait to let them work the bugs out for the first year. Then i’ll see what the Z models real world numbers look like before I consider replacing the GTR.

Kinda sounds like people that have evolved through their younger years and are now financially secure and CHOOSE to spend their money on nice things ( cars, boats,RVs, second homes etc). Can’t take it with you.

Why does that picture scream plastic? I know, lighter weight, etc, etc, but it just does. I want to like it but can't yet. I want the 70s model back.

I don't have a bald spot yet.

If Propecia doesn't work for me, I'll consider the Vette.

From what I've heard, that base level $60,000 price tag will be a bit higher for 2021.

They are overwhelmed with pre-orders now.

It seems to target the same age demographic as many other sports cars. There's only so many 30-40 year olds that can pay $60,000-$100,000 on a sports car that they only intend to use on the weekends.

There are way more old farts that can spare that kind of change on a 3rd vehicle.

Why can't someone just buy it because they want it?

I'm married and don't give a damn about impressing other women.

It funny how ppl's go-to reaction on cars like this is midlife crisis/small dick/wanna impress etc.

Personally if there was a way to make it look like a Ford Taurus or something plain, I'd want that.\

Buy for yourself, not others.

If I ever achieve a $500m net worth, I might buy one.
