Porsche has released these new pics of the Panamera, taken during its presentation to the media, while driving impressions are being finalised by those lucky enough to have road tested the Panamera (Autocar, for example). Apparently the dimensions don’t quite match up to the Series 7 or S Class with less space for the rear passengers, although this is more than what another sedan can offer in terms of driving pleasure.

It’s a car for those who want to drive, with plenty of speed, though the weight can make itself felt. We would never expect Porsche to make something un-drivable or mediocre, meaning it can mix it with the best. But in the end a purchasing decision might just come down to price, and here, the Panamera doesn’t quite convince. The 95,000 pounds (about 112,000 euros) is just a little expensive to compete with some of the others in the segment, for example Jaguar XFR, Mercedes CLS63 AMG or BMW M5.
