Some people think way too much into this whole spoiler thing.

Some would also say that you bought a car to purposely say look at me.

People will vandalize your car.


For a young guy (20's...30's) -- you can drive with the spoiler up...older than that (ie. gray hair, lines) -- keep it down, let it come up automatically -- what are you trying to prove?

Just wanted to get it straight.... Since I'm in my 30s .... I should keep the spoiler up? Huh?

I leave it down. I still get a kick out of watching it come up with the first car I pass.

Up. I think it looks better and it can be annoying seeing it go up and down between stop lights. Up, down, up, down......

Spoiler up....don't live in fear

Canadian - why live in fear. Someone decides to vandalize your Panamera is not going to give a rats-*** wheather the spoiler is up or down. Come on! And with regard to the economy, the average person that sees you driving a Panamera thinks that your household is recession-proof and may become a little resentful....but not to the point of vandalism.

I saw a Panamera 4 yesterday with the spoiler up and a Panamera Turbo badge on the rear. Yikes. It had standard wheels and tires too..

The Panamera is a fine car which speaks for itself.. The spoiler is a part of the car's aerodynamic design at higher speeds.. Its just a nonsensical decoration at a stop light or in a parking lot

I'm considering de-badging my PTT just to be a little more subtle about it. I don't care who knows if it is or isn't a turbo. Any thoughts or reactions?
