In the results of AutoPacific and Intellichoice’s sixth annual Motorist Choice Awards, the controversial four door Porsche was named top “Head Turner” in its segment. For the 2011 edition of the consumer survey, 72,ooo members of the public were polled to determine which cars and trucks carry the best balance of satisfaction and low ownership costs. In the premium vehicle category, the Panamera landed on the list and brought home another Motorist Choice Award for Porsche.
Last year, both the 911 and Cayenne took home a trophy in their respective categories. But with its love-it-or-hate-it styling, outlandish power and acceleration and abundant luxury, the 2011 Panamera is easily a “Head Turner.” Having the ability to drop jaws is one thing as only vehicles carrying reliability, comfort, and long-lasting quality. Porsche’s have an odd history of being brutally fast all while being efficient and strong; exactly why the Panamera landed on the list.
“The Motorist Choice Awards are designed to assist consumers by using a categorization scheme other than traditional vehicle classes. Our research has shown that buyers often shop in more than one vehicle segment based on their needs and uses, rather than simply choosing a segment and then comparing models within it,” said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific.
