I would only buy a GT3 variant.

If I were forced to return to the Porsche Welt, I would return to a GT3 vehicle, which have improved tremendously and have recently become a double-wishbone suspension car. A more gentlemanly GT3 variant is the "GT3 Touring" variant which eliminates the b

Hi Anand

This is the Manufacture Royale Opera designed by Charles Grosbety in 2010. I recall him saying that he designed it based on the Sydney Opera House. This watch was not only large at 50mm but it was also pretty pricey so I recall opting for a stainless stee

The French had too much space? 😁

Given your penchant for coupes 😊 I got really close to getting the V6 non-Turbo as a PhD student in Switzerland (they weren’t expensive back in the day) and subsequently regret not getting it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also considered the last generation of the original Panam

I especially like the V8S model. I didn't like the W12 nor the SPEED nearly as much.

The V8S model is the way to go here. The W12 and Speed models deliver power in a different way, weight is heavier. The V8 is also more free-revving. The V8S in the 2015/16/17 model year is probably my favorite Bentley. The current 2026 models are even eas

Sparepart availability

The access to spareparts and the time it takes get them would be one of the benefits of the higher volumes by Porsche. Would be more of an issue with rare birds. As far as SUV`s (or Panamera) goes, a lot of those are hybrids, and doubling up adds complexi

I very slightly disagree. I think every car, road car and track car, should have double-wishbone suspension.

Double wishbone suspensions provide more grip in both on camber corners and off camber corners. MacPherson Strut suspension provide only grip in on-camber corners. More grip is better in every situation. If you look at all four door Porsches; Macan, Cayen

The RAV4 seem like a great choice. Here is the rational on my side for the XC90:

The seat! (I have back problem and the Volvo seat are so comfortable for me); Air suspension - comfort Auto Pilot - required as driving in traffic gives me back problem and I really like the Volvo Auto Pilot, not as advance as Tesla but better then most G

Upon further inspection...

Upon further inspection, you two are BOTH CORRECT, the 4 door Porsche happens to be the fossil-fueled petrol powered and hybrid electric Panamera model. You can tell it's the electrified version by the green brake calipers which is in their "e-hybrid" col

It is a rare sight on the roads here as well…

In countries where people still place higher badge value on a Benz, BMW and Porsche, Lexus pricing strategy for its LS here does not make sense for way too many buyers who would rather take a S class, 7 series or a Panamera. I have moved on to an Alpina B
