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

My Family's Car Life

Porsche 911

Looking back, things have changed dramatically since the notebook arrived at our house.The reason is that the Note e-POWER NISMO S is a wonderful and more user-friendly car than I had imagined.

The back seat of the Note is quite roomy, yet the body size is compact, so whenever the family wants to go to the neighborhood store with a tight parking space, we always take the Note. Until the Note came along, we used to go in a BMW 320i, but recently the kidsThe Note has a spacious back! The 320i's turn has been reduced a great deal.

Rear seat of the Note e-power Nismo

And while talking to my husband the other day, as we were talking, I unintentionally mentioned this in the course of our conversation.

Before, I wanted a car that could fit my whole family comfortably, so I thought I'd get a Cayenne for that, but the Note can fit my family quite comfortably, and it's convenient to go anywhere, even in tight spaces, so maybe I don't dare buy a Cayenne.
So, long distance, somewhere.(Fuji Speedway, etc.)It has always been a luxury, even when it comes to going toThey went with two cars, like "Panamera and GT3" or "Panamera and Boxster."And I wonder if that will be the case in the future, so I don't have to think about being able to ride comfortably with the whole family.
Then, I feel more and more that I would not be able to afford to buy a Cayenne.
I thought about it, and 911 seemed like a good idea.The body is compact, it can be driven anywhere in town or on the highway, and the kids love the compactness of the air-cooled back seat.
But if that is the case, it would be a waste as I would not have the opportunity to drive the BMW 320i more and more, so I think I may part with the 320i and get a 911 when I switch to the Panamera.

And. Then my husband, who was

I know!!!!!!! That's why you've been saying "How about 911?I thought you said "I'm not a fan of the 911"! I think the bare 911 is fun and highly rated, and I think the 992 would be great if you do a lot of daily driving. And why don't you take the 911 to pick up your kids from kindergarten, it's so different to go all the way in a narrow sports car when there are SUVs and minivans all over the place?

So, for now, our family's car choice is "Is the 911 the next candidate for the Panamera?It's supposed to be "the best way to get the best out of it"... but it's quite possible that it will change as we discuss it again.

And while I was doing that, fall came and went.It's time to have my Panamera inspected, but I think I'll just keep it.I wonder if there might be a result that says, "I'm not sure.

In other words.The Panamera is such a great car that we can't decide on our next car even after thinking so much about it as a couple!This is also the case.

Well, choosing a car is really difficult. Once you start thinking about it, there is no end to it, and you can't decide. It may be rare to find a family where couples debate so much, but...I wonder where our family will end up.

    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.

      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...
