oh yeah...what a good looking car!

But the rear seats actually don`t look that comfortable to me...look like ejection seats in a fighter plane

Omg that interior is gorgeous! The only thing I don't like (and I'm nitpicking here) is that the front bumper is a little too plain and subdued. Now I have to look up the engine specs.

What's the deal with the interior shape of the trunk?

Best-looking 4-door coupe since the CLS first came out years ago.

Profile.





Looks weirdly snubnosed to me. And needs a drop and bigger wheels, but so does everything stock.

Looks a lot better now. I was getting pretty bored with this car and all of the prototype BS but it looks pretty good in final form. The wheels and mirrors are a HUGE improvement over what we've seen so far.

Looks great. Who would buy a Panamera with this thing available?
