Panamera is a great 4 door despite what people think of the rear end. It's nicer and will hold value better than a BMW anything and more unique than a Mercedes E. Only thing to consider for the cost is a used (low mile) CPO Maseratti Quattroporte...for nearly 1/2 the price of that blue beast!

Yes, but did you see the ancient interior? And better get the slush box, the single clutch ain't no PDK.....

I generally love this color blue, but Id pass on this one... after one week you'd be ready to wrap it in matte black....

uh, it doesn't get old, not for owners anyway

if you like the color - buy it

as something so subjective, why leave it to the masses for their opinions - ya know what opinions are like

or, play it safe and get another plain old gray, silver...

I am assuming that this is the vehicle at Porsche of San Antonio. It is stunning. A very elegant car

Mexico blue is one shade darker than Riviera Blue. Still really beautiful! However, that color belongs on a GT car. I think for this car, another color would be better. Just my opinion...

That blue looks awesome. The world is full of boring cars, have some fun! The Panamera looks pretty sporty to 99% of the population so the blue works well, especially from the front.

I put a deposit down, but you all are welcome to still debate it. If I end up hating it within a year, then I'll eat some crow.

Changed my mind. I like it. After seeing the dealer pics, MB is the only color I've seen that minimizes the distraction of the rear design.

Silver, white, black, and even red are dime a dozen.

If you want to walk on the wild side for awhile, you'll have no regrets. Can always fall in line with the masses later.
