Jay Leno drives Porsche Panamera Turbo - Pebble Beach promo episode 2

hahaha he is so lukewarm about this car! his body language says it all. i love how it looks like he only went around the block in it, didn't really give a sh%t about the launch control, thought the styling in the rear was disproportional and unattractive, and then just said "cool" as he tossed the keys over and walked out. he is an avid porsche guy as am i, and this car is blasphemous for true porschephiles. just terrible.

rubbish, if something is blasphemic in their line-up then it is the cayenne and the cayenne sells like hell and the next generation even more, so its creation is justified. the panamera isn`t a 911 but it still possesses real sportscar DNA. u seem to be stuck in the past pal, time to open ur mind.

I think Porsche is being unique in this sector. This is a wierd design, ugly from alot of angles, but fantastic from others. I think it is interesting personally. The interior is neat and the performance from the Turbo is remarkable. This car, just like the Cayenne before it, has a purpose and will probably be top of the class dynamics-wise.

a four door hatchback does not deserve the porsche crest. this design is deeply lacking in passion and thus it does not belong aside the 911, Targa, Cayman, etc. i am sure the performance is great for a four door, the tech is probably top notch, and the quality/reliability is no doubt at or near the top of the segment. but this bastardization of classic design is what i take issue with. if they were going to make a four door, adopt a similar approach to what maserati did with the QP. make something different. they've become too scared to deviate from the same basic formula which is a winner with a two-door and an utter disgrace as a four door. let's not even talk about the touraeg based cayenne. that's why this is blasphemic. it simply does not arouse the PASSION a porsche is built to arouse. "interesting from some angles" is DEFINITELY not good enough for a marque like porsche.

McNamara68, Porsche is all about passion, but not in an Italian way. Italians need to use pantomime and drama to show passion. like Hammond said, they need a lot of ketchup to make their chips good. Porsche just makes good chips, no ketchup, no bullsh!t. the passion is in the engineering. form follows function, and that's what the fans love. others just buy them for the badge. i'm sure this will be a success and it's a good thing it looks different from Maserati QP, Rapide and CLS. being the fastest of the bunch is reason alone for lots of people to buy it so they can compare d!cks at the country club.

some people like big butts.

i don`t think jay leno is THE typical Panamera customer. the crazier and more exotic a car is the more he likes it. In the end the car is simply too technocratic and understated for him.

this is not the type of car Jay would be excited about. put a steam engine in the back of the Panamera and you will see Jay getting excited :)
