Guy in FLA w/ the Panamera. Do you ACTUALLY use the performance? Probably not mate. The MB S63 AMG is a lot better looking, almost as quick, more roomy blah blah not to mention cheaper. And better fit and finish.
And WTF is comparing the Lotus Evora w/ this car? Firstly the Evora has TWO seats and this has 4, not to mention the same number of doors as well.
Imo this car is for 60 yr old lawyers and bankers w/ small penis issues, lets be honest now. But hey as long as you lot keep overpaying for these types of cars, Porsche has more development money for the likes of the Cayman R and the GT3 RS to keep us proper enthusiasts happy 
What do I get next if I reply to this: cancer?
You are right about the Panamara (but mainly the Cayenne) throwing a life preserver out to the cars YOU favor, but with an 11 year old in the back seat; I need a sedan -- and frankly mate, the MB S 63 AMG, which rearranges its bulges every couple of years in a seemingly desperate attempt to squeeze something new out of an old styling hat, not only fails to move me (i.e., there are no absolute restraints on my acquiring one after all), but in fact seems exactly the sort of bling barge you're profiling me as driving. I would actually feel uncomoftable riding around in that: picking up my daughter from school, etc. I was motivated to stretch for the Panamara: would not have done so for the AMG -- and as for cost, remember my 4S is about half that of the Turbo S!
While I haven't driven the Ring yet, I have taken it to the 12 hours of Sebring (not actually on the track); am going on my 3rd set of tires and know all 5 turns on my way to work each day pretty well: still finding a few more mphs every time. The car does not quit but, yes, I do: it is much more capable than am I -- but a trophy shelf is not my goal: the most fun I can possibly have at rush hour when the family is out of it, is.
Finally, a particular attribute of mine had often been singled out for praise during my single years, though true I haven't heard a lot about it lately.
Ahhh you have a 4S. No small penis for you then
Sorry I thought you had a Turbo S. But seriously though, where are the Panamera drivers like yourself in Toronto?! Most of the ones I've seen (and I'm aware of the fact that its really none of my business how people use their cars, but as an enthusiast I can't help but notice) are just driven so badly it makes no sense!
But seriously though, kudos for being a proper enthusiast and using your car the way God (Dr. Piech) intended rather than just as a penis extension the way a lot of ppl seem to use them around where I live. FLA roads are basically all straight though no?
Though I suppose that gives you more opportunity to feel that acceleration.
And whoever is comparing the 356 or the Bugatti EB112 or whatever its called to the Panamera is nuts. Those cars are far more attractive from the rear
