Though it's the most fuel-efficient Porsche, the Panamera S Hybrid drives 'pretty much like any other Panamera.'

My car is a bit smaller and slower than this Porsche, but also quite older (2004 BMW 645 E64) and I've managed 10.6/100km overall last year, driving over 20000km.
I'm not really impressed by the numbers this Porsche manages.

"The average Porsche leaves the dealership with options adding about 20 per cent to its price"

Curious comment, happens with most new cars these days (both examples here 20% or more).

Base Accord - 24,790; Loaded - 35,390; somewhere in the middle EX-L model just shy of $30k

Base Focus - 15,999; Loaded - 25,099; desirable SE model for the masses easily $19k

I could go all day...
Richard - that's my opinion and I stand by it.
