Top Gear Rules!

great episode guys, keep it up!

Welcome back, Ji!
The new Porsche rendering still looks like poo! The wheels and paint shouldn't be the only sexy thing about a Porsche.

Speaking of sexy things, Ji, please dress-up for a special Halloween episode of Fast Lane!!!

Catwoman? Maybe Batgirl? Elvira?.....

Panamera = Italian version of Dodge Charger, which means it will be successful. How successful? As successful as the Cayenne. Too bad it won't have an Italian Hemi thou...

wow, dumbest comment ever, scratch Italian and replace with German please....me = dumb today

German Hemi?

The scene: a German "futbal"-mom (for the euros out there) barges into a parking lot in her Cayenne Turbo and steals a parking space from an old Peugeot. In a fit of Bavarian road rage, four giant, rugby-esque guys get out of the Peugeot. The four large, yet stylistically talented, men start pounding on the Cayenne - smashing it towards the ground, being careful not to damage the sweet wheels, because after all there are pretty sweet.
A somewhat interested passerby, who just happens to be a Porshce designer, walks over to see what all the ruckus is about and says to himself, "That looks like it could compete against a CLS," and a light bulb goes off in his head.
Flash forward to today - The same designer backs away and looks at his creation and thinks to himself, "Man I do love that Mazda 6 five-door. Wait - I work for Porsche. Um..... Put some big wheels on it and throw in a turbo-ed V-8 - it will sell just fine."

the panamera should be buried in the time capsule, and be soaked in rusty mud water

Who needs birth control when you see a guy driving the Porsche Panamera?

Yeah!!! What pchop said!!! That car puts a capital P in Pathetic.

Definitely a Porsche from the front, an aston martin from the side and a mix of the Mitsubishi Eclipse - Suzuki Reno (kinda) from the back. It's so ugly, it will sell well in the states. People hated the Cayenne at first, see how successful that is? We'll still buy it (not me) because now one can drive a status luxury car with 3 passengers. There's no nostalgia with this car, just that it's a Porsche.

..and oh. If I were to own this vehicle, the license bracket would say, "My other car is a REAL coupe"

Porsche should not make mutli-purpose cars. This is another vehicle pushed on the engineers by the "Big Wigs" or "grosse Perücken". I just hope they acquire VW/Audi soon so that they won't feel that the Porsche emblem should be on anything other than cars whose only purpose is to go fast. I am sure this car will be acceptable but I think Audi could make it better in every way (except maybe the engine which looks pretty amazing).

the Panamera should be used exclusively for novelty taxis and guided tours around Porsche's factory/test track. It looks like a ride and Disneyland, you know, the ones where they mimic a scene from indiana jones so they take a coal mine rail car and make it 8 times bigger than it should be so that 30 people can experience it at the same time. THAT'S what it looks like. What a shame.... Is nothing sacred in the exotic car market anymore?!

I actually like the Panamera ... ok ... I'll get my coat.

btw .. where was Derek Wee today - still in make-up?

Nice!
Go Ji!!!

i know from many reviews from my boys over at rdtiburon.com, that the panamera is considered butt stank Fugly by the masses. If the thing actually looked like that concept coupe, then maybe it would have received a better response from the public. This is porsches equivalent to the chevy SS, no not the Camaro, the shitbox that replaced the Camaro, the SSR, it was ugly when i came out, and its ugly now.

good show, I like that you guys are giving props to TOP GEAR. very respectable of you !

werd.

Porsche needs some new style direction. Stop morphing a 911 to every auto body type!

ji young is hot and all, but damn that was boring. It was like speed bump, or a white guy substitution mid qrt the Los Angeles Lakers. time for a beer.

The Panamera is like a soap opera. It looks like the lovechild of a Ferrari 599 Fiorano and a minivan, which led to the breakup of DaimlerChrysler. VW must be like the ring Kobe bought his wife then...

Stay tuned for the next episode when we discover Dr. Z has been caught in a malpractice lawsuit with a Maybach.

Great to see Ji Young Min hosting! Another great show.

The Porsche Panarama - one of the best things Porsche has come up with yet.

Sure the 911 line is what makes Porsche themselves, but entering the 4 door market is brilliant. People can own 4 door Porsches. Think about it, Germany's high performance exotic Dodge Charger. Afterall, who knew this would come along?

The Panarama is, in my humble opinion, one of the most elegant sedans I've layed my eyes upon. Look out Chevrolet and Dodge, here come's Porsche's Panarama - all 4 doors included.

I love the concept Porsche and the idea of Porsche competing with VW BMW Audi and saab 4dr's, makes me Getty. So will this make Porsche a household name, like Honda civic?

that artist rendering looks good, unlike the bra'd up thing we've c'n, like i said before i reserve judgement till i c it in preson, one too many rides have been pre-condemned looks wise only for me to take back my words after i c it in person. as for the ppl that r mad that porshe is doing a 4 door, ummmmm they've already done an SUV, that i think is as far away from a super car/ sports car as u can get. so a 4door really isnt like oh my god how could they, oh and and u mean the German Magnum right Nick holla??? lol. and Top Gears track coming to GT5 is pretty kool, i think it has something to do with that episode were Clarkson tried to match his time in the virtual nsx {GT4} on the real track, i'm sure the playstation guys saw that and thats how that whole thing got started.

Porsche Panamera will look nothing like these "artist illustrations", it will be wonderfull to look at, to drive and and of course to dream of (my English sucks, yes). And the best thing on it: It will come out just when I get my driver's licence. The only thing which could be better than the Panamera (of course an other name but..) is when Dereck D. joins Top Gear (James May is boring).

Panamera? Pan of eggs! Scramble that project and serve it ot the dogs. That porsche is Ugly! I'll wait for the Carrera GT1.

panamera = teh blow

looks like a mitsubishi eclipse

A GREEN MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

Not too crazy bout he Porsche sedan; they should stick with sports cars. Sedans, Ill get the SClass Benz..

yea but Fast lane is "FRESH" Everyday !!!
Just give them a year or two will see who's gonna be on top of who
