Some cars with complex design don't necessarily photograph well, the Panamera seems to be one that falls into that category. Those that see it in person tend to have a different opinion. Either way, I like what I see so far and it may very well be my next car...
You need to be moving into a GT2 next, my friend. It's calling your name!

No question about it. A lot of people think M Coupe is ugly as hell, but that's ok - I like driving "controversial" cars. I get compliments everywhere I go though.
People who think its ugly just afraid to speak up, I guess!
Dead on - that's one of the reasons that I like the M Coupe so much. It's different, it's challenging, and it's not run of the mill. Life's too short to drive a bland "me too" car.

I would have totally agree with this.

The mercedes e-coupe for example, actually looks way better in person.
