THE PORSCHE PANAMERA!


So, for those folks of you who do not know me, I am utterly and completely obsessed with MB816 Porsche Panamera. Why? Because it's a Porsche Panamera! And because it's one of the most accurate Matchbox models ever released to date. Even those who do not like the Panamera in real life (particularly when referring to the aesthetics department) cannot help but admit that its miniature representation is stellar.

Speaking of stellar, get a load of the Porsche Panamera for the 2014 mainline! (Or as a 9-pack exclusive, both have been said) This Porsche is purely the definition of stellar. It's colored in a German-like metallic silver, with sporty chrome-lipped 5-spoke rims, and is topped off with some crisp front and rear tampoes. Sweet! Kewl!

If 2014 = a Porsche Panamera, than 2014 is already going to be a heck of a lot better than 2013, I can assure you that.

Definition of stellar : Meaning outstanding, wonderful, better than everything else, stellar is a word of praise or excitement.

Yet the Siku is better...and it's not even that good.

I'm no fan of the real Panamera, and I'm a Porsche owner. As a miniature, it's still an ugly car. That is not to say that ugly miniatures are not desirable. In truth, I love when ugly cars are made into scale models. However, this one looks kinda cheap with its too-sparkly paint and somewhat rough casting.
Not excited.

I have to agree with Mr Alfa,nothing special but ok as a toy for a 2 year old.I would prefer the Siku or Schuco version.Must see if Wiking do one as well although plastic it will be probably the best of all. :wave:
