Turbo S or Panamera Turbo?

HI -

Its just my personality - while I'm waiting for something...my eyes wander and I start questioning my decisions.

Was my decision to purchase and order a Turbo S Cab purly driven my adreniline and genetic need for an awesome porsche?

I ordered the Turbo S about two months ago - Delivery is supposidly end of June or early July.

My wife read an article on the Turbo S and she is legitimately scared. She really is putting her foot down and its very out of character for her. Its making me rethink my decision - as I have three kids under 5 and like to take them for rides with me - she doesnt want the kids in a convertible - and would "prefer" a bigger car like the Panamera -

So - what do you buy? Do you get a Turbo S Cab which will be a fun car to use for 6 months out of the year or do you get a Panamera Turbo which is arguably one of the best cars ever made?

Thought, help, advice, insight -

To assist - I drive a G55 Mercedes truck as my daily driver - I love it more than any other car I've ever owned. I live in NJ, just outside of NYC.

Ok - thanks in advance!

Best regards,

asg

If you have a G55 for your DD, I say go with the Turbo S as your toy.

You won't be able to take wife and 3 kids in the Panamera either. Case closed.

Buy what you love. Drive it and enjoy. Get a separate mommy mobile to haul 5+.

Turbo S is limited, yo can always get a Pany Turbo - neither will hold three kids in the back. Nothing to be scared off both are easy drivers until you put the foot down ....

Turbo S. Like Eric said, you can always get a Turbo Panny; Turbo S? Not so much.

TTS......it's your own personal toy

toys don't have to be practical and make sense..

The G55 is a good DD and the TTS cab is one badass beast...nice stable

Not my intention -

I WILL however want to take two kids at a time with me places - If its to the grocery store, out to lunch, or just for a fun weekend drive to the park 20 miles away....I love throwing the kids in the car and going for a ride. Weekends are for the kdis.

So - its not about everyone going in at once - its about saftey and practicality....AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When did I start to grow up??

Ages of the kids? My boss (who has 4 children) when they were younger regularly put his kids in the 911.
