I get the feeling that the main reason why we're even doing the whole Panamera vs. Rapide (even the names are alike...) bit is because we view both as a missed opportunity to break away from an already overused design language, with a less-than-stellar result. You can't do the fastback, short rear deck on a four-door unless you're Lamborghini, apparently.

That being said, you're still wrong though. You'd rather have the Rapide, and that's an end of it. Harumph.

They just ripped off the design from all their other models and then made it a little worse. Way to go...

It is getting there. I have to admit, it might be the color and the angle, but I'm liking this more than the black Rapide.
