2015 Panamera Exclusive Series: Pricing Announced

2015 Porsche Panamera Pricing

Most of you may have heard about the Porsche Panamera. In fact, even you don’t have enough money to afford one,  you can easily rent one from Hertz in almost all major US airport rental locations, see our earlier article here.

The last time I was at the airport, I asked Hertz for the price of renting a Panamera and they said it runs about $200 PER DAY, withOUT negotiation. I think you can definitely bring the price down further more if you haggle with them.

Exhaust Pipes: Ugly vs. Beautiful

If you have been paying attention to the exhaust pipes underneath each car, you may find that some of them are very visible and looks like they are just hanging loosely. For example take a look at the below photo of the 2015 Lexus NX300h, you can clearly see how the single pipe is located in the underbody, going through the rear suspension arms and finally reach the exhaust tips.

On the other hand, some cars conceal the pipes gracefully as you can barely see them even you kneel down to take a close look (you can only see the exhaust tips under the rear bumper). A typical example is the 2015 Audi Q3 as shown below.
