928 vs. Panamera - YUCK!

The Panamera Turbo has 500hp and tops out at 188mph. That's all in a full size sedan that can easily handle 4 full size people. Do your best to get inside one of these & drive it because this full size sedan gets it done. Also looks like it might have components to be used in a future 2 door 928 coupe ? Still, the Panemera takes a little getting used to, but didn't the 928's? T

I actually REALLY like the Panamera. I've always thought they were way better looking in person than in pictures.

That's not even close to being the same. The Panamera is different, and by different I mean ugly. A Porsche with the engine in the front is much better balanced, but it doesn't really matter that much anyway.
Same reaction as when the 928 first came out?? When the 928 came out and I first saw one I was in awe. It was 15 years ahead of its time in looks, design and performance. When the Panamera came out, I was in awe... in a totally opposite way. Look at the picture of the black ones, the Panamera looks like a slammed SUV compared to the 928.

Gonna agree with Dan - compare the 928 to other cars in the 1970's - and then the Panamera to todays cars - its just not that impressive. Furthermore take a look at the lines and styling on that black 928 next to the Panamera. Porsche has had 32 years to come up with something better for a GT car and this is it????

I like the Panamera myself, but man - those shots really make it look huge. I parked next to a Cayman all last summer and even that made the 928 look small... modern cars overall are just too big.

The best thing about being inside a Panamera is that you can't see the exterior from there. From everything I've read, it's a great driving car. Fortunately, you don't have to look at it when you're driving it.
Porsche also got the model name wrong. I think Porsche Hunchback would be a far more appropriate model name than Porsche Panamera.

I've recently driven the Aston Rapide and it was very nice. I loved the way it looks and it handled great. I will have a chance to play with a Panamera next month and will report back on the comparison.
