Diesel and Euro spec, so anyone in the US, do not get too excited. Always excellent reviews and coverage of cars though from Autogefuhl, love their channel.

Yes, other than being a diesel, and having all the European tech options missing over here, and being an S-Line, it's exactly the same as cars available in the US. Oh, and maybe different colors. Otherwise exactly the same. Except maybe some exterior options, like different wheels. Otherwise exactly the same. Oh, and a cover for the cupholders in the center console. And an automatic auto-hold button. Otherwise exactly the same.

The Euro Panamera gets the upscale cup holder covers and the US does not, but I dont remember too much else on Porsche thats not available here. Not sure why US Audis have so many options missing we really do get shafted. The wheels in this video ARE available here though, they're the stock 21s that come with P+ and Prestige.

the seat choices are also missing as the reviewer thankfully noted in the video. Given the US is still a priority market for these manufacturers I wonder if some degree of cost cutting is involved given the lower prices here.

I liked this review. Other than the engine and seats/steering wheel he really doesn't mention too much of the other stuff that is euro specific. It was nice to have such a long detailed review of the car.
