Porsche Panamera wins Bloomberg Car of the Year, Edmunds “Most Wanted”

Porsche’s family sedan four-door sports car is at it again. The Panamera was crowned Bloomberg’s first ever “Car of The Year award.” Bloomberg Columnist Jason Harper said “The Porsche Panamera has broken the sports-sedan category wide open, producing a truly desirable auto that combines the best elements of a sports car and comfortable four-door.” The Panamera hasn’t yet met an award it didn’t like. Not only did we report on the Panamera wining the AutoTrophy “Golden Steering Wheel” award but it also picked Edmunds Inside Line’s “Most Wanted Award.” All we have to say is we wish they would send us the 500-hp Panamera Turbo. We couldn’t complain about the gas mileage either as it still manages to get 23 MPG on the highway.
