It would be nice to see the designers push themselves once and a while (I love the cayman, but it's a better looking hardtop boxter). The profile just looks like an enlarged 911 with head room in the back seats. I'm with UDel; not feelin' it.
The coupe however looks really sexy.

Yeah, it's got too much of a wagon look, like someone mentioned above. I mean, it's a nice "thought", a 4-door 911. But it's got a strangle looking profile.
The hatch at the end is throwing me off, it needs a trunk.
For now, I'd take the Maserati Quattroporte, even though every time I see on in person, the front end looks a little strange to me. And I just can't put my finger on what it is....the front-end looks better in pictures.
I really like the lines of this Maserati though, can't wait for this one to hit production: http://www.maserati.com/

Saw one this weekend, and it is one intimidating, huge and tall car. My GS is much shorter in height than these newer cars.
Coming back to the Panamera, I sure hope the production version looks better than these renderings - I really don't like the "enlongated-morphed-4-door-911-look".

Actually Kevin, Bit's remarks were not about this ugly artists impression of the Panamera, but of the M5.

Yes, well the M5 looks kinda kooky too...really because it's just a 5-series with big wheels and the 4-pipe exhaust. That's not enough to save that strange looking car. The 5-series looks wierd to me coming, AND going.
As has been said many times, it got all "Bangled" up.
