***Come out to the Daily Derbi Karting for Charity Day, May 27th!***

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” We’ve said it in the past and tend to stick to our guns, especially when talking about the Porsche Panamera. Here at The Daily Derbi we think that car is akin to seeing Rosie O’Donnell: too big, not very good looking from any angle, and curious as to how it got as far as it did.

But according to Porsche’s sales figures for April, we’re wrong and alone in our way of thinking. That’s because last month the 4-door Panamera outsold every other Porsche model, racking in an astounding sales figure of 678 unit sold. Even more surprising is the fact that all 911 models– you know, the most iconic Porsche ever– together sold less than half the volume of the Panamera.

The 4-door hunchback on wheels even outsold cheaper models like the Cayman and the Boxster- vehicles that are nearly half the price of a base $89,500 Panamera. Perhaps we’ll never understand America’s fascination with the newest addition to the Porsche family, but until we do, keep your eyes open for a lot more Panameras in the wild.
