New Car opinions needed

do you need rear seats? if not, a well optioned Cayman GTS will be really tough to beat. if you just want power, the Panny Turbo is the way to go.

I have a deposit in for the G99, but would personally be hesitant to put all my eggs in that basket until reviews come out

It literally feels like the car will fall apart when you close the door.

Haven't had that problem with both the ones I owned. Solid and quiet.

Also a quick update

over the weekend i had the opportunity to borrow a friends panamera turbo and i think im sold on it. Ive decided to do a small write-up on what i think below.

Pros:
5k launch control
amazing handling
incredible grip around corners (tested in malibu canyon)
ambient lighting is fantastic
cooled seats that actually work

Cons:
Sound from factory is incredibly underwhelming
the weight and size of the car can be felt around town
infotainment doesnt feel as smooth as the BMW idrive

They updated the 2024 Panamera, infotainment should be improved with that new wide dash screen. Exterior refresh looks good also.

Yes, the 2024 Panamerica Turbo is a great option for those with $200k plus to spend. https://www.caranddriver.com/porsche...turbo-turbo-s#

The Panamera is an eyesore imo. Looks are subjective, but the 911 form looks awful extended the way it has. The Taycan on the other hand pulls it off better.

Be aware of the steep depreciation, one of the worst along with the Taycan.
