Agreed, I for one would be happy to see wagons/hatches make a come back here. This one isn't my taste (I'd debadge that lime green before the ink dried on the contract), but it's a move in the right direction. But remember, it has taken us 15+ years to get to this crossover phase, so whatever the "next big thing" is, it wont happen tomorrow.
I remember I asked you a couple of years ago if you are planning to install a 240v charger in you house. Since with the prevalence of EVs and plug-in hybrids these days, it makes sense since you'll be reviewing them a lot. And from the 6:37, it looks like you did? Or you just plugged that cable into a regular 110v outlet? Or maybe temporarily unplugged your dryer? 😆 And if you had a 240v charger installed, did you qualify for a tax break?
1:44 Just in case you think I'm a Porsche fan-boy I have to tell you I'm emphatically not but if I had a £100k car I would be very happy not to have keyless entry. These systems have been the cause of a significant reversal of the hitherto downward trend in car theft here in the EU in recent years.
O did buy an Audi some time ago. Feels like a fancy Volkswagen. Buying an Audi with a Volkswagen soul? Never more. My complaint about this kind of Porsche are this "Volkswagen feel". Argh!
Wagons are making a comeback. A breathe of fresh air in this world of crossover SUVs.
Yeah, we’ve been crossover’d like crazy.

Came across one on the streets of San Francisco recently. Gorgeous car and oh so large. For the exclusivity sure why not.
hot wagons are awesome. Regardless of manufacturer. The AWD is a bonus too for us in the snowy North

I wish! But I'm still charging with my standard garage outlet. I do live right near a public charging station, though.
For 120k? Give me a Mercedes AMG E63 S wagon
What color is this car?
Sapphire Blue
Is this the same 2.9 in the S4/S5?
Bryan Lo No, they have 3-liters. This is the same Porsche 2.9 found in the RS5.

Totally agree.
This is a proper car not like that shit coming out of Detroit!
I still can’t believe Volkswagen makes these.
Derek Macneil hmmm I thought it was loosely based on the a7 or maybe the other way around... but none the less, I don't I it's 100% Porsche
They don't, and who cares if they do? My VW GTI went 285,000 km before I recently sold it to a friend. My VW was incredible. Carry on Miguel.

ev range is still a joke.
