    - Updated hybrid (more electrical power, battery capacity)
    - New long wheelbase models (Executive)

    Some pretty crazy leg room on the Executive models. Wonder if anyone that gets driven around would choose one of these vs. riding in the back of an S-class.

    Still ugly!

    Definitely not a car where long wheel base makes sense. S-class, A8 L or Rolls please!

    It's Shanghai. It makes sense.

    Even the 3 and A4 has long wheelbase version there.

    I still like it
    That 3.0TT just appeared out of nowhere though. Wasn't expecting that to replace the V8.

    It's launching in Shanghai but will be available worldwide. Porsche website is already updated with it. Don't really see the market for it myself but who knows...

    I doubt dealers will stock any Panamera anyway. If its factory order, its being made for China anyway, so why not.

    There are some significant costs to sell a vehicle in a country even if local dealers weren't going to stock it. If Porsche didn't think there was a market for it outside of China, it wouldn't be available here.
