The 2010 Porsche Panamera, the sports brand's first luxury sedan arrived in the United States early this month. A total of 31 pieces were transported via a 747 jet from Leipzig, Germany and about 6 were showcased at the Monterey Jet Center during Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival.

The four-door, four-passenger Gran Turismo models may not be the best-looking cars in the bunch, but they definitely still created a lot of buzz from the event's visitors. A lot of people loved its styling and the fact that it's got a lot of room at the back. A few people even cited the Mercedes CLS and Quattroporte as some models that come to mind when seeing the Panamera. The 2010 Porsche Panamera are V8 powered gasoline variants, but talks of a V6 and a hybrid may be currently in the works. Guessing from Porsche's excellent track record in making well-engineered cars and people's reaction to it during the event, this new sedan may very well be a sell out when it heads to car dealers on the 17th of October.

As for the prices, the Panamera S will be sold for $89,800++, the AWD 4S will go for $93, 800++ and the flagship Turbo will start at $132,600++.
