Nice to see it'll get a diesel variant! I'm sure it'll get better mpg than those started numbers!

I think a cheaper Panamera would be difficult seeing how it's not really a big car to begin with (interior wise) so I wouldn't seem like they have a whole lot of room for downsizing that vehicle...

That's true for a lot of cars today, including most BMW's.

A more affordable Panamera would do what the CLA is doing for Mercedes and that thing is raking in profit (regardless of diluting the brand image).

Similar to how with the Tesla S, there is a "baby" coming currently dubbed Tesla E. That should spur sales like crazy too.
