They use these things as a luxury to adjust ride height not for performance features. Aftermarket companies do the same thing as add ons to the 996/997 cars the Audi R8 and Even Mercedes (and I think some Ferraris) has it stock to allow the driver to raise the car up when they encounter a speed bump or driveway. But as performance, I havent seen a car yet that relys from the factory for performance suspension delivered by air.
Yeah that's true. And to add onto that, while the Cayenne Turbo is a "performance SUV," and is equipped with air-suspension, the Cayenne GTS is a TRUE "performance track SUV" and they use springs on it, not air-suspension. That alone tells you when they're going for true handling and performance Porsche chooses springs/coils over air-suspension...which manufacturers only use for versatility not performance in such cases.

Edit: Either way, they're all faster than my shitbox...
Porsche only has SUVs and Sports cars, and the Panamera now, which is a weird exception. Only the SUVs have air-suspension (Cayenne Turbos and S's). All their sports/track cars have springs/coils.

While i'm not a fan of air-suspension for handling, i've driven cars with air-suspension that do handle pretty well - although they're annoyingly "bouncy" over bumps and such, which coils/springs do not have that effect. That's something companies are going to need to fix before I ever feel like air-suspension is a good alternative to other spring-form suspension.

Come on,what makes a Panamera not a sports car?Putting the engine in the right place is a good start;who cares if it has two extra doors?
Is there one in stock at the dealer yet?I'd like to see one in person.

If it was bouncy then theres somethin up w/ their shock setup... B/c even on air you STILL need shocks... I hadn't gotten around to putting shocks on the front of my s10 and I had no bounce at all... But I always drove at a low psi... I'm willing to bet that their systems are designed to run w/ the bag fully inflated causing the stiff like feel and or bounce... They could design the system to run w/ a slightly smaller bag on a lower psi w/ a stiffer shock and equal everything out... But I'm not gonna argue w/ the engineers at Porsche... ^_^

Haha, I agree that it "is" a sports car... but its just.... different than anything they've done before haha. Oh yeah, and they put the engine on the wrong end. What were they thinking? lol

There has been one at Porsche for a few months, should still be over there this week.
