Anyone who doesn't like the car has not driven the car and compared it to other sedans. Porsche is truly unique in its styling department, they definitely are not conservative so change is to scary for some people. It is truly the *only* large *sport sedan* on the market. It would run circles around a AMG S Class or 7 series on a road course or Nurburgring.

I agree with all of that except the "change is scary" comment as if that invalidates an ugly design. Is the pontiac aztek not ugly, just too scary a change for some people?

Porsche engineers have never compromised on function and performance, no wonder the 911 looks like it does.

I agree. I just said it was ugly, not that the interior did not work quite well or was nice to drive. It's just hideous. I know someone that says her Aztek is a brilliant car. That doesn't make the car less ugly though.

Keep in mind aesthetics is all in the eye of the beholder.


The general consensus seems to say it is ugly though.

You only saw one Panamera? I see about one every time I go out. Hehe, just kidding. If you go to any Porsche dealer though they should have at least 10 Panameras.

I think it's a beautiful car.

I've always been a dark car person, but to me the Panny loses something in black (go ahead haters and make ass jokes) I saw a YB in person before I ordered mine. It was one of the few they had gotten in Oct. of '09. It's a gorgeous color I haven't tired of and probably won't.

Panamera has so much road presence it actually turns heads. but it has to have the right options, such as air suspension - to get to the right height, 20''+ wheel - car looks stupid with anything smaller. it's big, long, wide & it's a statement. i'm not sure people thinks it's pretty or ugly but it certainly turns more heads than the C2S i have.

i loved mine, but it's just too big for my need right now. i would love to order one exactly the way i want it next time. next round i'm going Turbo! btw, it's has the coolest & best interior of all the cars i've owned in the past few years. mine didn't have full leather that's one of few things that bothers me. til the next one...

this is the one i sold. got a C2S instead.

saw a black on black turbo with the two tone wheels on the way home the other night, it might look like a station wagon a little but i'll be damn if i wasnt staring, if i would ever do it, it would have to be those specs

yours was nice even though it wasn't a turbo.. the white kills me though feel like its too big to do in white.. then again i really don't like white for cars (sorry h20skier)
