Looks good from the front & back. The proportions are a bit off on the side profile - looks too long.

Panamera is for the demographic that's been buying the 7 series and S Class MB's and want something different. I've driven the S model and was impressed for what it is, perfect step up from an S550. The guys that buy Panamera's are the ones that have a 911 in the garage too, or can't have both, but need a 4 door.

Panamera looks grow on you over time. The more I look at it the more I like it. The new V8 sounds amazing, and supposedly some of the models are amazing to drive as well.

But put one next to a Rapide or a Quattroporte and it doesn't look that great, and that's coming from a Porsche guy.

On it's own is a different story. It's got a presence and quirky beauty to it.

Thing is ugly as sin, I think it even beats the GTR in ugliness per dollar spent.

But I can't afford half of one, so I'm probably just a hater.
