I saw it 2 days ago at the dealer with some unattractive OEM 20" wheels.

The coupe version of the Panamera will solve the weird appearance problem of the sedan I think ...

I think the 911 coupe will continue to be the best looking coupe in the Porsche lineup, but that's my just opinion.

as far as station wagons go, it looks pretty good in grey. saw one parked along side the street, thing is huge. I'll take one if given to me, but will trade it in for a A8L audi, my dream car :-)

Yes, but if my eyesight became seriously impaired I might see it differently.

I have not seen it person yet, but have a feeling that I wont be able to take my eyes off of it when I first see it. I think its going to be a rare bird considering its price tag and fuglyness

Modern interpretation of the beautiful 1978 928 Porshe..



The Panamera is a road carver..

I've seen it in person from all angles. The air-brushed pictures at just the right angles are better than the actual car in person.

did anyone see the road test on motorweek?

UNBELIEVABLE suspension.

i'd buy this car in a heartbeat if i a) wanted to spend that much, and b) wanted a large sedan.
