2008 Porsche Panamera
December 6th, 2006
Buyers and consumer are looking forward to the long awaited 2009 BMW 5-series. Early illustrations show toned-down creases and edges, less-busy details, and a more sophisticated overall appearance. A longer wheelbase will boost rear seat room, while a wider track and a slightly lower ride height give the car a more ground-hugging stance. Inside, there’s a new instrument panel, an optional head-up display, and a center console angled toward the driver.
The drivetrain goes high-tech with brake-energy regeneration teaming with adaptive alternator control, a start-stop system with an upshift indicator for manual transmissions, plus biofuel- and synfuel-capable engines.
