Panamera up close and personal

[trans_lux]

Sorry not sure where to post this so mods please move if need be.
Anyway had a chance to get up close and personal with the Panamera last week. My first reaction was damn this thing is huge and looks great in person, from the front and side and even from the back. Its the look from the back quarter that looks looks strange. Though the back does look like Crossfire. Despite the car looking large the interior feels small, very cockpit like. The back seats while spacious were hard to get in and out of much like the MB CLS. The purpose of the car was to demo the optional audio system from German ultra high end audio company Burmester. It did sound good but maybe a bit bright for my taste, possible due to the use of the air motion transformer i.e. ribbon tweeters. Overall I did not leave wanting one mostly due to the lack of practicality for my world. I guess if you were a DINK ( double income no kids) or empty nesters that needed to haul another couple around it would work, but then why wouldn't you just buy the 997TT and make them drive themselves?

Sorry in advance for the iPhone pics
