I don't care what you do to a Panamera, it will never be beautiful. I will acknowledge it is one hell of a machine, superbly engineered, ridiculously fast, crafted to the highest standards. It will never be a looker in my book though, no matter how much you modify it.

not hot at all
its a poser car with nice wheels

first of all, it isnt a turbo
the front facia has turbo-looking DRLs but thats a whole bumper swap with some uneveness

you can see the warped reflection in both front and rear bumpers

and are DPE wheels supposed to imitate HRE?

IMO, this is a poser panamera

also the car itself just isnt going to be as good as what it was before
when you start messing with the suspension setup of panamera, that is when it starts to go down hill

I'd be surprised if the new suspension came close to being as good as the one they ripped out. Not to mention the bumpers have likely screwed up the aerodynamics of the car at high speed.

The car is all show; they've detracted from it's performance capabilities. like I said, not really a true Porsche anymore.

I will be happy when the "stance" scene dies a fiery death.

To each his own but Im sure the great majority of people who saw this car at a light would be blown away and a decent number may even take some pics while it waits for the light. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. To each his own, but for me this thing does it.

I see a black one almost every day on the way to work and it blows my mind. I saw a white one in my neighborhood recently that had beautiful wheels on it and I followed it for a couple of blocks just to check it out

Doesn't look like a Porsche anymore. Definitely my taste. Gotta be the only one I've seen that actually looks good

Or the donk scene??? I keep hoping that will die a fiery death, but it just keeps going and going and going. Waiting for the Civic scene to die a fiery death as well. I hate that dumb cheap fart can exhaust.Why won't it just go away????
