Panamera Is Definitely the One for Me
Back Again to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu At the end of November, the four of us took a trip to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu with the Panamera.

Actually, we had taken the same trip with the family in the Panamera around this time last year, but the weather was...

To Nakabayashi Kogyo Previously, at Nakabayashi Kogyo, a long-established manufacturer of automotive body covers, I arranged to have a body cover made for my Panamera.
