    Pertinent News

    The new Porsche Panamera 4dr sedan (500HP, turbo, seven speed), has a three stage rear spoiler that deploys at 56 mph, extends outward at 100 mph, and then tilts 14 degrees at 127 mph.

    Get your order in early...they're only $132,600 (base price).

    Interesting car, but I really don't like elongated four-door look.

          I like my current ride, thanks. Averaged 165 mph from Palo Alto to Portland yesterday at about 13 MPG. Didn't have to take off my shoes. No traffic, either.

          "Flying low" in a Porsche just isn't my kinda flying.

              From the picture in the article, I thought it resembled a Pontiac Grand Prix. Probably not something the folks at Porsche would want to hear.

                When I read the title "Pertinent News", I thought it must be about Michael Jackson or Jon and Kate...

                  The Cadillac may be faster but a Porsche is a Porsche. Of course, at 115k for the Porsche folks might just spring for the Caddy instead. That Porsche is one cool looking car though.
