Porsche Panamera
Last year, Porsche introduced a four-seater with a V8 engine. It features essentially the same shape as the 911 but offers the charm of a four-door sedan. Numerous optional technological elements will quickly drive the price above $155,000. Three engines will be available for 2011: a V6, a V8, and a turbocharged V8. Only one transmission is offered, a seven-speed automatic. Note that the back seats aren’t only for children!
