No pic. And I'm pretty sure that CWW does that on purpose.

Hmm, that is much better.

YES.

God, whoever designed the real Panamera is so stupid :facepalm:

YES

I think it's silly to mimic the 911 rear when the car isn't rear-engined.

Have you guys even seen the Panamera in real life?

It looks pretty hot in my opinion. At first I didn't like it at all when I saw it in the photos. What really bothered me wasn't the design but the "length" the press photos gave it. But in real life this thing is sleek and sexy. It's hot.

Like the XF I am sure pictures don't do it justice. Can't wait to see it on the streets.

I think the real thing looks better.  The hatch design  was a better move than a true "sedan" design.  I have yet to see one in real life, but it's grown on me and much better than I expected. I still think they should have sacrificed some rear headroom for a sleaker design though.

Since I saw it on Top Gear, I've loved it.

I have to agree. While I'm not smitten by its looks, I do admire its performance. Then again, I did see that coming.

Porsche FTW!

CWW's is better, but still not quite right.

Having now seen it in person it is a gorgeous car. One thing the pictures don't show well is how wide the Panamera is. It is wider then an S class!

Hmm...perhaps I'll make a run to Foreign Cars Itala this weekend (Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, and Aston Martin) to see what it looks like, I am sure to be bored out of my mind.

Nix that, they don't have any Panameras in stock.  :rage:

That's what the Panamera should have been if anything.  But it really is gorgeous in person.  I love it.

No, here's what the Panamera should have been......the early '90s Porsche 989 concept which came VERY close to being produced!

I think this was a much better looking car.
