I hate it. <_<

I doubt it would look like that, though.  

[cozmik]

I love it. It's sleek, agressive, and handsome. I'll take mine in a graphite color, please.  B)

Same here, I love it.

What do you see in it? The front end looks nice, but the rest is horridly bloated and the taillights are terrible.

I dont like the back end particularly, but I dont see how its bloated.  IMO it looks sleek.

Towards the back of the car it just swells up, ending in a massive bumper.

I agree, I dont like the back, but it doesnt look bloated from the sides, IMO.

What about the obscene fender bulge?

I assume you are talking about the rear?  Its look recalls the 993 Turbo...it looks aggressive, not bloated.  And the back looks narrow, and is accentuated by heavy haunches...I like it.

[ifcar]

There is nothing agressive about obesity. The 993 did not look like that.

When we get official pics we can argue about the obesity of the car :)  Its pointless to argue about a photoshop.

[ifcar]

I'm not saying that the car will be ugly, I just hope it looks nothing like that rendering.

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the rear was Aston Martin.. :blink:

Otherwise it's alright, but...I don't love it.

What happens when you cross a 911 and a Quattroporte?

Panoramic? ^_^

I love all of it. I think the back is sharp looking. I don't personally see bloat. But everyone will see something different.

I for one am hoping that the real thing looks like this.    

[TBR]

The front looks fine, but the rear needs a total redesign. It shouldn't curve so much and the taillights ought to be lower.

[Raghavan]

HOLY HUGE RUMP! :o

[850CSi]

Beautiful!

A 612 Scaglietta competitor for half the price.  And that same rear end works just fine on an Aston Martin DB9.

I would see this more as a Maserati Quattraporte competitor, dont you think?

[Colonel Cadillac]

Love it.  :P  :P  :D  

[jadewolf123]

Bootylicious. Personally i don't mind a big an on a car. All CARS from Stuttgart are ok in m book.

It's like two pretty parents with an ugly baby! With a pretty face. ^_^

Tough to say until more info is released.  

I see the Maser--which is a gorgeous car in its own right--more as an S-class competitor.  I would speculate that Porsche will make the Panamera more of a driver's car, closer to the 612 in spirit if not quite in full V-12 glory.

The car will have a V8, I believe.  All the same, the Porsche will be four doors, and have a V8.  The Ferrari only has 2 doors, and has a V12.  I'm not so convinced they will be competing with each other.

so then why are the 6 series and the CLS considered 'competitors'?

[850CSi]

I'd say its closest competitor would [or should] be the M5.

Lame marketing attempts?
