If the styling, performance and reliability is worthy of the PORSCHE badge why not go and buy it (if the need arises) may I ask ?

My reference was to his comment of being above a minivan that wasn't screaming "STATUS!!!" Personally I like Toyota Siennas.

Current or previous gen Cayenne?

We already have my wife's Lexus LX570 for full-on family duty but I am looking for something sportier/powerful for myself that I can carry the 2 small kids and baby in a pinch.
Keep the comments coming. I'm actually seeing more arguments to just keep the status quo, lol.
Minivans are the root of all traffic evil........ lol

I got out of a 2 plus 2 to an "11 CS so I have the option of taking all 3 kids. It is tight with car seats, but fine if one or two of the kids are out of car seats( booster or other) I also the additional roof and trunk space for Paddleboards.

Now, if I had Panamera Turbo, I would drive for as long as possible as we both know, there are really not that many instances when we have all 3 kids!

1st gen. My upcoming car is most likely a minivan. Is there a trick to using car seats in these that I don't know? The more simple car seats aren't extremely difficult, but the adjustable ones that utilize the latch points are ridiculously complicated. I don't see how the rear-most latches work like in the manual, but the ones under the grey buttons aren't stable and leave the necessity for the rear tether. Anyways I totally derailed the OPs topic. My apologies

The way I do it is sit on the seat (put all your weight on it) and tighten up the slack on the LATCH tethers.

Yeah, true dat. I get the feeling my wife and I will split the kids up between us to give her breathing room with the baby and I'll take the older two. Her Lexus LX570 is a pretty sweet ride when I have to drive it anyway. My kids love riding in the GT3 and had figured it would be cool to have a Porsche for everyone, which was my original intention with the Panamera, until the "surprise" lol.

Just looked at cayenne S today. Back seat only has places for 2 latch babyseats. Probably not the one to carry 3 seats around in.

This is true; However, in order for those rear seats to sit 'flat', the fronts must be moved forward. So, unless you're 5'5" its not something you'll do all the time -

One thing to consider would be to avoid the 18-way seats that have a prominent sculpted side bolsters for the passengers on either side making for too snug a fit for the center passenger on the second row. I have attached a picture for you on the 18s. The 8-way and 14-ways do not have those bolsters. Let me know if you need pics of those.

the panamera is just smaller, sedan that holds less cargo and people.

Nice

There's nothing wrong with a minivan - it holds more people and more stuff than any other type of vehicle, and for a family with three kids, it's probably the only way to go if you expect lots of road trips. I'd say the new Honda Odyssey is worth a look - it has all the gadgets available, will drive better than most other minivans and SUVs, and it's cheap to maintain.
