When Will My Panamera Arrive?<\/h3>\n

I still haven\u2019t heard from the dealer that the ship carrying my Panamera has arrived in Japan. Delivery is just a week away, on October 12\u2014but has the car made it safely? What if it was involved in an accident along the way, or arrived in the wrong color? I can\u2019t help worrying.<\/p>\n

The Porsche Panamera is often compared with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, given their similar standing in the luxury-car world. The S-Class is a trailblazer among luxury sedans.<\/p>\n

“Intelligent Drive,” “ultimate comfort,” and “a relentless pursuit of efficiency”<\/p>\n

were the ideas behind its 2013 debut. Its predecessor reportedly sold more than 300,000 units worldwide. So what about the Panamera? I pulled out a brochure to find out. (For some reason, I only had a brochure for the previous-generation model.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Panamera Brochure<\/h3>\n

On the first page, I found the Panamera\u2019s concept:<\/p>\n

“Day and Dream”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWait, was that really the concept?\u201d And then I read this: \u201cThe Panamera embodies Porsche\u2019s enduring philosophy of bringing seemingly opposing elements together on a higher plane.\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. The Panamera\u2019s brilliance lies in how it brings together seemingly opposing qualities:<\/p>\n

“Everyday practicality” and “driving enjoyment”
\n“Efficiency” and “power”
\n“Dynamic performance” and “luxury”<\/p>\n

To me, that\u2019s the Panamera\u2019s greatest appeal: it delivers on both sides of the equation.<\/p>\n

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class vs. the Porsche Panamera Turbo<\/h3>\n

I came across this blog post on the subject:
\n\u201cI Borrowed the New S-Class\u201d \u2014 Goron\u266a\u2019s Blog <\/a><\/p>\n

The author describes what it was like to drive the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and how it differed from the Porsche Panamera Turbo:<\/p>\n

It may be unfair to compare it with a Porsche built for driving, but in a Panamera Turbo, even a winding stretch like the Ikoma Skyline\u2014with one curve after another\u2014makes for a comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable drive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Panamera really is something special. Of course, it\u2019s not about one car being better or worse; what matters is choosing the one that suits you.<\/p>\n

And now, just one week until delivery!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Will My Panamera Arrive?
