After the Panamera, is the Taikan next? Or the Cayenne? No, no way, 911? !

My Family's Car Life

The next car after the Panamera

In our family, since last fall, we have beenThere's talk of switching Panameras.I wrote about this in a previous article. The Panamera is due for inspection this October, and I'm thinking of switching to something else before then.

However, it's not easy to say that it's a simple changeover, and it's not a straightforward one.I still haven't decided what my next candidate car will be.

Six months did not pass without any consideration or discussion between the couple, and time did not pass without mischief; they went to the dealership for a test drive, and they said, "I'm going to go to thethis and thatWe have been discussing it with the "Mere Old Man," but the situation has changed or changed two or three times, and we feel like we can't make up our minds.

Candidate, Porsche Taikan

My first thought as a potential Panamera replacement was.It was Porsche's first EV, the Taikan.He also went to the preview, talked in detail about Taikan, and said, "I'd be very interested to see what kind of EVs the sports car makers make!My husband had made a reservation once because he was "the one".

but the back seat felt smaller than I expected.(Not narrower, but narrower than the Panamera)And, after all, I heard that the car would be delivered in 2021, which is a long time away, so I said to myself, "I'm not going to wait.Well, I guess I'll have to wait a long time...or put some other car in between...I'll have to think about it some more...This was called the "I'm sorry.

Also, since that time, my husband has been

I think a plain 911 would be nice instead of a Panamera. I would love to drive a plain 911 and I think it would be a lot of fun.

I said, "I'm not going to be the one to

No, no, no...to the 964, to the GT3, why bother buying another 911, that's crazy at any price.

He kicked out the idea, and the conversation ceased.

Bentley Continental GT

After that, the next candidate car that surfaced was the Bentley Continental GT. My husband had always liked luxury coupes and had always been interested in the Continental GT.How about a luxury car that is the opposite of the Panamera that can't be compared to the Panamera so that you don't feel like, "Oh...I would have preferred the Panamera..." if you are going to switch from the Panamera.It was the first time I said, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.

So at the end of last year, a couple of us went for a test drive of the Continental GT, and the ride was even sportier than we had imagined!(Although of course it was a very nice car, more moist and luxurious than the Panamera), ,

Hmmm, I was expecting a more luxurious car, but this one compares to the Panamera.... On the other hand, the Flying Spur is very expensive...

and the Continental GT is no longer a candidate.

Porsche Cayenne

After that, the Porsche Cayenne emerged as a candidate. My husband had previously test-driven the current Cayenne and was so impressed that he said, "I think the Cayenne is nice too.I said, "No, but it's big...The company was reluctant to do so because it was a "good idea".

...I'm sorry that I'm always in the form of disagreeing with my husband's opinion....

But the Cayenne has a wide back seat.We decided to consider it because the children would be happy to ride comfortably even on long-distance trips.but while my husband was looking at a used car website.

The price drop on the Cayenne is more than I expected...I'm hesitant to buy a new Cayenne when I think about resale. I wish I could find a good used one. I would like to have PDCC, but I can't find any Cayenne with PDCC...

I began to mumble things such as. And so it went.I noticed that a Nissan Note e-POWER NISMO S was delivered as my husband's commuter car, andMy husband, who gets on the note every day.

Very nice car! The acceleration of the electric car is amazing!Since the notebook is so great, I think the taikan must be tremendous.I can't leave out Taikan!

He said... Then, I just had to go to the Porsche Center and there was a Cayenne Coupe on display, so I decided to go to the store and talk to Mr. H, the person in charge.

The Cayenne coupe I saw there was so cool that my husband said, "II want these specs so bad!but then we went home and talked about it as a couple.

I can't give up the Taikan...considering the delivery time of the Cayenne Coupe, I'll have to switch to the Taikan in a while after I buy it, right? That would be a waste of money...I can buy the Cayenne anytime I want, but I have to make a reservation for the Taikan now...(Reservations can be made until 2/28)I may not be able to buy it for a while...hmmm...

While we were talking about such things, the candidate car discussion completely ran into a deadlock.

    Hi Mima!

    All of the options are an enviable lineup (T-T).

    Cayenne said that the PC rep once told him that when he tried to leave the parking lot, he had a hard time getting the door open (laughs).
    I may be off the mark in terms of the selection criteria for this year's candidate, but when I visited a Ferrari dealership the other day, I was struck by the gtc4 lusso.
    I wasn't a candidate because the resale value is not as good as the midship v8 and I thought it looked like a slipper (pardon the pun) when I only saw the picture, but the real thing had a perfect balance of luxury and sportiness.
    I am 175cm and as long as I didn't mind the 2 doors, there was more than enough space. (Although it is small given the body size).
    The test drive was to come later, but every day I am bravely thinking that the most luxurious and sporty shooting break with a V12 engine, which is now an endangered species, might be a good buy (lol).
    And while I'd really like to hear the master's review, it might not hurt to take a look!
    I apologize for my presumptuous opinion!

      Thank you!
      gtc4 lusso, I looked it up and I see Ferrari has a model like this!
      I have never been to a Ferrari dealership yet, I will tell my husband again ^^^.

      Thank you!

  2. trying to outdo one's opponent's moves

    Always a pleasure to read!

    I commute in an Alto Works, which is a very fun car, but the ride is very stiff, so I started looking for a Nismo S.

    But if you look at car sensors, you won't find 2,030,000 anywhere!
    I believe MINA has changed the market value through this blog lol.

    I want the ministry too, if I can get it for about 200.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      I see you are looking for Nismo S!

      My husband also said, "2,030,000 yen is a real bargain! My husband also said, "2,030,000 yen is a real bargain!

      I hope one day to have a blog influential enough to impact the market!

      I just told my husband.

    As others have said, I think my first choice after the Panamera would be the Ferrari GTC Lusso. I think the Lusso has everything more than the Panamera, and I myself want one very badly.
    Well, you will have to worry about the mileage and poor resale. The resale is as bad as a Porsche, only a V8 Ferrari is too good to be true. However, the loss is huge because of the amount of money.

     But when it comes to the 992, it's all sports cars. w But if you go this far, you're already a Porsche collector.

      >I guess the first candidate after the Panamera is the Ferrari GTC Lusso...
      Oh, I see! The fact that you say so too, Kurumania, makes me even more curious!
      I've never driven a Ferrari myself, so I wonder what it would be like...
      I would like to take a test drive or something once, but I guess it's not easy to do that at the dealership...

      >But when it comes to the 992, it's all sports cars, isn't it?
      Yes (laughs)... I'm kind of a Porsche fanatic now (laughs).

    Car transfer simulations are fun.

    I have only seen the GTC4 Lusso in videos, but I love that sound. However, there is no way my wife and daughter would like the sound of that V12, and I gave up on it because it is not suitable for our family car (it is also very expensive... and I don't have the guts to drive it on a daily basis because it stands out so much). I think it would be suitable for the Mina family, whose family understands the sound of the engine.

    I have thought about buying a used Aston Martin V12 MT, if it is the same V12, since it is available at a reasonable price, but I am not ready to change my Voxpa and am taking a wait-and-see attitude.

    At the moment, the only realistic changeover is to get a 970 PHEV for the family in the late 971 that will be coming out, and I am looking forward to that being announced around this year.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Ishi.
      Changing cars can be a pain, but the time spent thinking about it can be a lot of fun!

      >(It's also quite expensive... and I don't have the guts to drive it on a regular basis because it stands out so much.)
      Indeed...^^;If it were a Porsche, it wouldn't be seen so much, but with a Ferrari, it would stand out...

      We've got a lot of different family situations going on.
      Then I am thinking in circles about what kind of car would be the best in the world.
      I wonder what I will end up with... ^^;

  5. Buzzer beater!

    We are happiest when we are wondering which car to buy.
    I envy you because all of the cars you are considering are already owned, even though one of them is a luxury car.

    Personally, I am a Lexus fan, so I would be happy to have the LS as an option for a sedan and the LC for a coupe. I think both offer a different sense of luxury and exuberance than the Porsche.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Buzzer beater! Mr.

      >We are happiest when we are wondering which car to buy.
      I am sure that is true (laughs). I am sure that if it is decided, there will be a gaping hole in the market.

      I have never driven or driven a Lexus LS, so I would like to drive one.
      My nephew and niece got into a Lexus the other day and were thrilled, saying, "This is the most comfortable car I've ever driven! and they were very impressed.
      (This is a house with Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, etc. ^^;)

      I'm curious to see how our kids react!

  6. PorscheDreamer

    Oh, 911 Carrera is now a candidate.
    I think it is the ultimate Sport Utility Vehicle.

    Mine is a 991.2, and it can accommodate four adults for city trips, and as long as you can load it up, it has quite a lot of space inside. This is a big difference from Cayman.
    The 992 can also carry things on its roof, so it can be used for most leisure activities...but for some reason the 992 doesn't have a base carrier on the Japanese equipment site yet...
    It is also smaller than the Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan, so it can be parked in a standard-size (5 m long and 1.9 m wide) coin-operated parking lot.
    I think that Mina's place has not been introduced so far because of the multiple-unit premise.

    • Mina.Mina.

      PorscheDreamer.

      That's right!!! Here comes the bare 911 as a candidate!
      I think it is the ultimate Sport Utility Vehicle, just as you said.

      It's a sports car that can fit four people and can be parked anywhere.
      I am reminded once again that 911 is crazy awesome.

      The Panamera is a nice car, but you can't just casually go anywhere when it comes to parking...

      My husband has yet to test drive a 992, so he said he might go for a test drive next time.

  7. ds124

    Good evening, Mima.
    I'm kind of glad that the topic has expanded a bit since I wrote Russo (laughs).
    Currently, Ferrari Osaka (Cohn's), Inc.
    The gtc4 lusso, gtc4 lusso T, 812 Superfast, and Portofino will be available for test drives.
    I told them honestly that I could not buy the car right away, but they agreed to provide me with a test drive in March.
    The Ferrari brand has a narrow market and it seems as if they don't want to deal with me, but surprisingly, even a young kid like me with no money can be treated with sincerity, so the Mima family might be treated more highly (laughs).
    For better or worse, the styling of the Lusso Shooting Break looks like a common hatchback or wagon in Japan, so in a sense, it may be less noticeable than the 911 or Panamera, which may give the impression at first glance that the car is expensive. It may not stand out as much as the 911 or the Panamera.
    The fact that you can choose this car knowing that it has a noticeably poor cosmetic value in addition to a poor resale compared to a v8 Ferrari is a very good thing, and I think it is full of a sense of being an expert ← self-praise (laugh).

    • Mina.Mina.

      ds1243
      Thank you!

      >I'm kind of glad that the topic has spread a bit since I wrote Russo (laughs).
      Readers of this blog are pretty good about looking at the comments section as well.
      I, too, am happy and enjoy this kind of development ^^^.

      Ferrari, you can test drive!
      I thought it was a world where people would say "buy a used car first" or "buy a used car first";

      I don't think I've ever seen Russo in the city, so I'd like to see it in person.

      >I think it's very strange that you can choose this car knowing that it has a noticeably poor cost performance in addition to poor resale compared to a v8 Ferrari, or that it is full of a sense of being an expert ← self-praise (laugh)
      That's what I'm talking about!!!! LOL!
      You picked the right car for someone who knows what he's talking about! LOL!
      Please let me know what you think if you test drive it!

  8. rickshaw man

    As far as I know, I have never been dissatisfied with Lexus and Cones!
    They will let you test drive anything, including Lusso.

    We also wanted Ferrari to be able to drive to some extent, so if you wanted a test drive course, you could take the expressway from Honmachi to the Bayshore Route, and then ride to Rokko Island.
     When you place an order, you are also told that you can come and ride the car anytime as there is still time for delivery.

    I thought the image of a high threshold for cones was a thing of the past.

     I agree with ds124 that Russo's shooting break style is excellent.
    It can accommodate four adults. And it is much more comfortable than the Aston Rapide.
    It can reach 300 km in no time, and the sound is great. The body rigidity is very high compared to a 4-seater saloon. The suspension moves well in a comfortable direction. It is a very flexible car.

    Rather, it is the car I want most right now.
    Prices are falling so fast that I've been staring at certified pre-owned and specs for about a year now.

    • Mina.Mina.

      kurumani arabis (ryokanai)

      Well, Kurumania-san's most wanted car right now is a Lusso!
      And Ferrari is such a casual place to test drive.
      Cones is awesome!
      The Bentley in Kobe was also at Cones, and I felt they were the most responsive of all the dealers I have been to.

      If the price drops too much, it seems like a good idea to buy a certified pre-owned car, but...
      I would love to drive Lusso, even if it is just for a test drive once!

      Since Kurumania-san said that much, I'm getting curious (laughs).

  9. ds124

    Kurumania-san, I have always read your past comments, and like the Mima family, I have great respect for your knowledge and experience with cars.
    I am so happy to be able to share the same sensibility as Kurumania!
    If the Panamera is followed by the Lusso, and Kurumania and I both end up buying one, I would like to see all three cars side by side.

  10. rickshaw man

    Ms. Mina and Mr. ds124

    Well, I am a car nerd, so I am far from being respected.
    Mina's husband has more knowledge and experience than her, or I think everyone w

     I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to resist. lol Thank you.

    I want lusso intensely. I can't find any specifications that I like. I'm told to order it if that's the case.
    I am not a person of sufficient capacity to order without worrying about price drops. I want to become an adult who can drive a Russo on a daily basis. I will do my best.
     
    But the new Roma, unlike the toy-like Ferraris of late, I was drawn to it by its class and beauty, like when Pininfarina designed it, so I pre-ordered it, albeit with a turbo. They say it's more than 2 years away, even though it's an early batch.
     

    • Mina.Mina.

      kurumani arabis (ryokanai)

      No, no, I think Kurumania's knowledge and lineup of beloved cars is amazing!
      And at such a young age...I respect you!

      Kurumania, ds124
      I told my husband that Russo's was the way to go! I told him.

      'Oh, my brother just ordered one, and it's supposed to be here soon. I think I'll take a ride when it comes.
      I'm not buying a Ferrari," he said.

      I wish I could get a ride too when I come.

  11. ds124

    Kurumania.

    Indeed, everyone who gathers here is filled with tremendous love for cars (laughs).
    But still, even though we are close in age (I am 28), there is so much difference that I feel ashamed of myself (laughs).

    It appears that the order for a new Russo is apparently over, and we will have to wait for a certified used car to come along that will fit the bill....
    You ordered a Roma! Congratulations!
    At first glance, it was released by Aston Martin!
    The silhouette of the car is not only elegant like a British car, but it also has a sexy smell that reminds us that it is a Date car and a Ferrari.
    It was Rome that got me interested in Ferrari, so I am really envious, even if I have to wait two years.

    Mima.
    Your brother-in-law already ordered it!
    Mima, I am very much looking forward to your husband's review...
