I don't really know these cars too well, but it looks very close to the old one. I was driving next to a nice dark blue one on the freeway this morning and thinking that it wouldn't be a bad car to have, and used ones are pretty cheap right now.

 

Headlights remind me of the BMW M Coupes..

 

Looks pretty good. I'd love to see some interior shots.

Should be gorgeous, based on shots of that pre-facelift Special Edition they did.

 

interior remained much the same, only difference is a new center console and some other minor changes, personally im glad they didn't change it too much, there was nothing wrong with it since they put the new gearbox in.

 

except the center console hope they did a better job

 

the black interior is the old one, and the...interesting interior is the new one, pretty dissapointing really. i'm told the new entertainment system is much better than previously but honestly, i'd still buy a cheap '07/'08

 

10000000000x sexier than the Panamera.

 

I can spot all of the differences a mile off. This will come as a shocker, but I was going to get a Quattroporte before I decided on the VIPER. (I know the cross-shopper from HELL!)

Anyways the front bumpber is deeper and has more of a chin spoiler (before it was as if the car had a huge overbite). The headlights are larger, and so is the grille opening. The hood looks to be revised as well, the sideskirts are deeper and more contoured. The rear bumper is deeper and the tailights are a little more "thick".

For the cost savings, I'd take a 07 though.

If your looking to replace something like a 7series, this is a great car to infuse a little more excitement and verve, while still maintaining some functionality.
