I still don’t get it. They look like any old pair or Ray-Bans.
Now, if they were made of carbon fiber w/ titanium screws and hinges, then we could talk. That would seem more befitting of Porsche to me.

Is anyone else seeing the “inspiration” from the GT3 Cup Car in those shades? They look like a pair of any old sunglasses to me. I wore a pair of $20 Fossil sunglasses for years and finally last year splurged on a nice pair of $100 VZ sunglasses at a surf shop in Hawaii, but I just can’t imagine needing a pair of $400 sunglasses. I, for one, just don’t get it.

Is the Panamera going to race the Challenger 605 too? What’s with the Porsches and planes? I guess that’s supposed to be an allusion to the “lifestyle”. If you drive a Panamera, you’ve probably got your own $100M plane too. I know I do… but they’re only for racing.

That is a really nice pic of the Panamera in front of the plane. I actually like that color too.

It will be interesting how the GT3 does against the plane.

Porsche-Design Sunglasses. I had a sweet set of these back in the day. I went to Hong Kong in 1986 and bought a pair. They had this huge case and interchangeable lenses…either gray or bronze. You would flip up a little piece above the nose and it would allow you to interchange. I loved em. I lost em, too. I’m pretty sure they were lost in my girlfriends (now my beautiful wifes) barn and her brothers “found” them and they were never returned. In fact, when the barn was cleaned out this last year I asked if they had found a new pair of sunglasses…no dice. I’d love to find another pair like that…the new ones aren’t bad either.

A huge Yankee fan here and all I got to say is boston sucks!! The game who the writer is referring to is already a “Yankee Classic”. Was in a jam packed bar with hundreds of others when A-rod hit the homer and everyone went nuts. You’d have to live in the north east to understand, ha.

The Porsche sports analogy. Yep , Leave it to New England sportscasters/Journalists to come out with something like that . It is crazy over here with the Sox / Yanks rivalry and this is where they went this time to try and express that passion of that rivalry. ..Its ok by me because as you said Ryan, This time no Porsches were harmed in the making of this news piece lol.

I`m telling you…That pic of the Panamera….I get to liking the car more and more.

I recall first seeing pics of the Panamera…Reaction was that of an oddity…Not ugly..Just odd. But now its not odd and i can notice the appeal of the design.
