I found the article that started this thread while I was researching if/when there is a new generation coming out. Now I’m wondering if it might be worth waiting for, or if maybe I’m more of a Taycan guy.

Not that I didn’t really enjoy this car.
What’s struck me with all three of the Porsches I’ve driven recently - a 2014 911 Carrera S and the 2018 Panamera 4S and this Turbo – is that they’re all pretty mousy when you’re just driving them around town, unless and until you really assert yourself.
When you slap this Panamera Turbo around it really performs, though. But like the others, it takes effort.
I may be a better candidate for ordering a new Taycan 4S. Used ones are going for roughly MSRP, and new ones have the $7,500 tax credit – plus in Ohio I’d get sales tax credit for the value of my trade. No sales tax credit on a used-for-used trade.
(Now I just have to find a Taycan to drive.).
Also, I’d have to hand over a 2019 750i with 9,700 miles and a check for ~$60,000 to drive home this 2018 Turbo with 30,000 miles from two previous owners.
I’m not suggesting that the two vehicles are interchangeable or directly comparable, but that’s quite a gap considering I still like the car I have.
