Thanks and good to know that the 2021s are righting the wrongs of the past from a driving dynamics POV. Truth be told I've been sitting on the sidelines and betting on the Panamera given I cannot fit into a 911 which like for many has been a dream car. Cost wise there is no question they are more expensive than the M850i or M8 as the 2020 GTS I test drove was $40k plus (if memory serves) over the final build of my M850i.
When my lease is up on the M850i I'll be facing my last significant car purchase as it will be timed with a decision to move from semi-retired to full retirement. Unless some unforeseen circumstance precludes me from continuing with my current gig (very unlikely), I may just decide to keep working for another couple of years to cover the purchase of my last hurrah before I'm relegated to Honda Accords in my retirement life. Thus, I'm still betting on the Panamera and a few others within the $250K realm to be that last hurrah. |
You fit in M850 but not 911? I'm 6'4" the 8 coupe/convertible doesn't feel like has anymore room than my 911. Of course we all "fit" differently into cars and I'm sure you know if you fit or not.. lol.....
I have the 18 way sport seats. I believe the 14 way are slightly bigger
Hope the new pano works. The architecture underpins the Bentley CGT and Spur whist significantly Improved those cars driving dynamics vs the old Audi / front drive based bentleys
Of course those cars don't need to be a Porsche so hopefully they got it right :-)
Love the full retirement, congrats!!
