To me the Panamera looked like it was a stone that had been at the bottom of a river for 100 years, no features on it at all. The Taycan is a better from the rear quarter. But still a bit meh.

I used Panamera is probably a very good family vehicle for A to B transport in comfort. Without seeing it from the outside for 99.9% of the journey!

I’ve seen a couple of Taycans so far - great looking car. I wonder if it will start taking 911 sales for people who want more space?

Can you just imagine taking that Taycan off-road, not being able to go anywhere cos it’s pants and then having to rub two sticks together to try to generate some sort of electrical battery re-charge when you find yourself marooned in the wilderness with flat batteries and your passengers as your only source of food.

Nylon pants. It's the future of EV ownership.
Lots of vigorous rubbing will generate an electrical charge of 25,000 volts and be used for emergency charging.

Like most modern expensive cross roaders the biggest obstacle these are likely to face is a speed bump in Chelsea

There is a joke in there about the nylon pyjamas of our youth, Wattie will have a photo or some such.

rubbing a rod with a bit of pus5y was perfectly acceptable when I was at school.

But probably arrestable these days

Rugby with girls when you sometimes made a mistake with many ball shapes bouncing about would probably be frowned on as well :rolleyes:
