It's because it's German.

Ad Mill yeah, the old complaint was "too many buttons" but now the new complaint is "give us back our buttons"

in fact, I think the previous button design is unique and ideal if you have owned the car for a week and longer.

@@tonycool100 I've had my Panamera for 10 months and once your used to the set up its very easy and works very well but it does take a few months for muscle memory to kick in. Its worth the effort because it looks gorgeous.

It is a some sort of button tho, ppl hate piano black.

I would rather have too many buttons than a screen…

Porsche is overrated

I've said that too for years, so true!

Well corvette zo6 is not a brand but a model, 80k 650 horsepower 650 lb of torque, 0-60 auto in 2.95 seconds and 3.2 seconds in a seven speed manual.

For this price, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S is a better proposition overall, especially when you take in account that you can basically have all options and still money left before it reaches the Porsche's MSRP. It accelerates way faster, i would think it corners about as good because it's slightly lighter (it doesn't have All wheel steering, so maybe be slightly slower), and to my eyes it seems to be a better luxury car too since the interior quality appears to be similar and it has more tech (their automatic driving is only topped by Tesla's). If you want a pure luxury car, the S550 is a better option too (at this game it's only topped by a few car to be honest). If you want a better luxury car without feeling like you're driving a boat, the 750i is also better overall, since it seems more confortable and has more tech but on paper should drive about as good (similar weight, also has All wheel steering). If you just want an expensive daily, the Tesla Model S P100D is a better option overall as well, since it seems to be the best daily on the market rn. There is more to a car than the badge, the 0-60 and lateral acceleration. When you take into perspective everything that the models offer, depending on your checklist, there are indeed better cars.

but merc are just merc no sport brand. And a Zo6? for real that is not even in the league of porsche. Talking about build quality there.

There is thing called happy medium.

I do think it's a happy medium, they're haptic!

I couldn't agree more

funny how everyone were crying that there are too many buttons in old panamera, and asking for this. And how everyone is crying now that there are no buttons, people are just never happy.

Dinu Ciobanu First of all, I never complained about too many buttons. Secondly, almost anything that can be done with touch sensitive buttons can be accomplished with switch buttons. so shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.

DigitalYojimbo I guess it's all about you haha

The car is still great either or. Can't see touch button being an actual concern for any buyer despite hate though. When it comes down to it...it really doesn't actually matter. Just get used to it. Just like how people use touch smart phones instead of button phones

My point exactly. The whining of these content creators is tacky, shameful

slaWterCH isn't that in the Dodge Challenger/Charger and Jeep Grand Cherokee already?? 🤔

Aaron Ming by copying the rest of their lineup ? so bold

+Euphorica You must be fun at parties...Quite ironic nick btw.

kraenk12 I am the party bruh. Porsche design has been to carry over every design idea to all their cars. every one is parts bin and they all look the same...and I'm a Porsche fanboy /own one. they slapped on the 991 tail lights onto the Panamera and all these fools are talking like it's some ground breaking design.

Euphorica yeah the front looks like a Boxster 718 and the rear looks like a 911

I can't tell the difference in the exterior design much so i don't get why anyone would say there's innovation here. Interior is nice but that flat out digital style layout for the buttons in the center console like he said isn't user friendly when driving. There's no how it'll wont be distracting, but i'll admit it does look nice but it is nothing new. Several cars over the years have had touch sensitive like buttons or capacitive touch pads.

That's exactly what they did...The tach is still analogue!

Eric Ortiz some of us like the 996's too.. love my 04

Eric Ortiz I like them all to

Have a Mark 1 Panny Turbo and a 996, so completely agree, Eric :-) Opinions on looks should not be presented as 'facts'.

Mr. Alex douchebag spends almost two minutes of time in this video, to tell the people "not to forget how ugly the first generation of the Panamera was"... lol! This is so ridiculous! Instead of being a little bit "cooler" and trying to see the first generation of the Panamera as that what it was, a Porsche-unusually big car in the S-Class segment of the market, but certainly the fucking sportiest, he critizises and spreads his fucking hate against the first Panamera. Alex fucking little man is just a smallminded little fucker with no sense of coolness at all! No other car of its segment had such sporty talents like the first Porsche Panamera. And the "hunchback" blabla against this Porsche is just because of its need for passengers headroom in the rear of the car! This wasn't so easy to combine with the typical 911 design characteristics. The first Panamera was a cool looking big car, certainly much better looking than the fucking standard notchback cars from all the other car brands in this class! and for a better understanding: compare it with a completely useless Aston Martin Rapide. The rear seats in this car are a fucking joke, because completely without any sense! But it was sooooo fucking beautiful... yeah... of course! A Porsche Panamera is a perfect compromise of looking awesome and transporting four or five people without any lack of space in the most sporty way of such a car at this size! Alex fucking douchebag always makes the mistake, comparing this with the 911. But this here is a huge limousine with over 5 meters of lengh. For that it's simply fantastic how sporty this second generation of the Panamera handles and the first generation always was!

Agreed. Unfortunately it feels like the unibrow taillight design is being slapped on all the newer Porsche models indiscriminately by VW. It works well in some cases (like the new Panamera) but is a completely atrocity in others (the new Cayenne and A8).

Just drive and don't jerk your danm vents dude, set it up before you started and watch the road

Ajax that's total fucking cool

Cool, yeah maybe. But is it practical and safe ? no. While I drive I dont want to loose eye contact with the road when adjusting my air vent.

Ajax I thought it had only in the back seats

That said how often do you really change a thing like that?! Like never. The rest of the climate controls do have buttons.

It depend. In fact at home we are 3 drivers and all of us have different setting for things like this. My wife and my son can drove my car and vice versa. When we do long distance trip we are used to switch driver. If Porsche did connect the air vent with seats program it's look like a pretty good idea? Otherwise, IMHO, it's useless. Oh another thing, is this reliable ? because Porsche is not cheap in repair cost.

I think so too. And that tail wing design is not new at all, the older turbo has it too.

Try specsavers I believe they’re quite cheap

People are stupid and confusing and sadly some companies suffer just because a bunch of uneducated fucktards will just call it ugly or diss it in any way. Especially high ranked people, that are very known to the public.

dont we all

Hope you could

albozzzzzzzzzzz more like an rs

Sounds as much like an AMG as every other crossplane V8 since they all sound pretty similar, but other than that not really. Like everyone said, it sounds more like an Audi RS... because it kinda is (same engine i reckon, and if not it's an evolution).

Kaisuke971 since Audi owns Porsche I wouldn't be suprised if does use the same engine from the RS6/7, 4L V8 Twin Turbo and sounds just like it.

Nope. Sounds more like an RS6/RS7 because they use the same engine now.

Rather a Bentley.

Dumy Jobby even an eco boost mustang has probably plowed into a crowd!

haha

@@coffeeblak86 Mustangs are true crowd-pleasers...……

no such thing as too much power? just look at the challenger hellcat.

Touche

We live in a world where people choose cars based on which one works best with their phone. Technological progress is inevitable and Porsche has to keep up with it just like everyone else.

That's absolutely right. And that's why people always claim Japanese cars are more reliable...

I love their buttons

Carfection you are putting on some serious weight

haha LOL

Sure about the HUD? In germany i am pretty sure that this option is not avaiable. According to a local porsche dealer, the poeple at porsche decided against a HUD because the car should be/stay a driving focused car. Adaptive cruise control is available, you are right! And yes it is unique and it is a great car.

Carfection IF you die ;-)

They will never forget you with a funeral that long. :)

Nah objectively, when you sum up all the qualities of a car, it's between the BMW M760Li, the Mercedes-AMG S65, the Bentley Mulsanne Speed and the Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge.

Kaisuke971 this handles way better than any of those

And all of those are more luxurious. There is more to a car than handling, especially for a 2tons+ luxury sedan.

+Kaisuke971 That's why it's great the non-Turbo Panameras are also very comfortable.
