Since just a small % have been sold I doubt the general public is at any major risk here!!! I'll bet less then 1% of TS members even own a Panamera.

It is a safety issue too!! It's something that's holding your life, literally!
This is a joke, right? Porsche has a history of the safest cars produced. Period.

This is PORSCHE- NOT L E X U S!

Ps. they've been making 'new' cars since day one.

Panamera sales outstripped 911 sales for 1Q 2010. Just saying... I'd buy one if I could afford it.

My Cayenne Turbo is probably faster than most cars in your garage, rain or shine or snow.

Tim- do you have pictures of your club coupe? That thing is in my top ten cars that I'd want to own.

Just in regards to recalls, it is just the publicity of them now. Frankly, its getting annoying. Even early 2000's Accords had recalls on a supplemental restraint system (hmm somewhat similar?) and no one cared because why should they?

If you are worried about the system in the car and your safety, just remember that it performed all crash tests with this oh so faulty system.. oh thats right and it PASSED!
