So the debate continues - some people love it, others hate (did Bangle design it?); but the pics of modded ones keep coming through and to yours truly they look amazing! I'd take this baby over a 7er or an S-class any day!

here ya go, lads:

i finally got to see a panamera on the road this past weekend and i take back everything bad i said about it before. it looks GREAT in person, pics dont do this car justice. (didnt see the interior so i cant judge that though).

IMO the 7 series and audi A8 are blown away by the panamera. the AMG s-class too. the regular S-class will be ok only because it appeals to a different demographic.

Agree. So is the Cayenne. :thumbsdown:

Porsche IMHO went down the drain since they got out the Cayenne, and now this :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: They should start making bikes and small hatchbacks to compete with Smart cars, you know..... not to allow Aston have all the 'fun'

Eeesh the whole car starts somewhere but ends nowhere.... It's like the designers fell asleep when they got to the rear part of the car.


I like Porsche, a lot, for the 911 models and CGT but...let's face it, Porsche designers are among the laziest in the industry, if not the laziest. And NO, there is a line between conservatism and being just plain lazy !
