Turbo S or Panamera Turbo?

Turbo S because it doesn't look like a pig's ass.
Also, if you're worried about the safety of the convertible in the event of a crash or roll-over, maybe consider a Turbo S coupe?

you know what Autozeitung got 0-62mph - 3,0s Flat 0-125mph in 10,2s (first ever test) in their latest issue from a 911 Turbo S Cabrio this is a 10.x seconds car down the 1/4mile and with awd and pdk this car is very easy to drive at least in strait line..

All cute! All love the sounds of engines :-)
Love the bias toward the selfish choice - !

My dealer did not have the allocation - So, I spec'd the Cab.
Honestly, I wish Porsche could devise a hard-top convertible. NO ROOM, but it would solve my personal problem.....
So it seems like the Turbo S is the "obvious" choice -
Not one vote for the Panny?

I think the point is that the Panny was never meant to replace the dream of owning a 911. Thats why everyone has a similar sentiment.

True - and I agree....
But, we can not negate the fact that the Paney does preform 'like' a sports car with the practicality of taking people and cargo with you.
Hey - if Porsche didn't create it - I wouldn't have needed to start this thread.
I've owned two 997s already - C4cab and Turbo cpe. What I want is a really enjoyable car to at most drive 1-2 days a week and weekends.
I just started playing golf - can you fit two adults and two golf bags in a turbo cab?
These are the questions I'm looking at now.
I will say - the Porsche 911 trunk is great for buying beer and ice. Fits perfectly.

LOL!!
I have not driven a panamera turbo yet. I have driven the 4S - loved it. It's on rails - like it's 911 bretheren.
Dealer has not had a turbo panny to demo.
I like the visibility better in the 997 cpe better than the cab - and the pan is really - in my mind the 'current' 928.
Maybe - I go with my initial feeling which is the S and when the 'real' 928 comes out - get that?
But - I am hearing from local friends that the panny turbo is the best car in the Porsche stable right now - and that it's a dream to own and drive.

2 adults with 2 sets of golf clubs in my 997 TT coupe-check
2 adults with an 8 year old and 3 year old in the back seat of my 997 TT coupe-check
Therefore...Turbo S...check!
Seriously though, the room in the rear is less for a cab than a coupe. I can get a nice booster seat in the back of my coupe pretty easily, but I'm not so sure about the cab. Both boys love the sound.
