A Family Wagon for the 0.1%
The Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo is the latest in Porsche’s line of daily drivers, offering increased cargo space and a station wagon aesthetic. But—at $154,000—just don’t call it practical.
“I suppose you think since you drive a Porsche, you can park anywhere.”
The words came from a Lycra-clad local who objected to my boyfriend and me blocking the gray stone portico of the Lyndhurst Mansion near Tarrytown, N.Y. (We had pulled in front momentarily, to take a photograph.) I found it so funny, I wasn’t thrown by the guy’s tone. I was driving what is basically a station wagon, with a humble mauve tone. What have we come to that such a car now screams “entitled”?
