Decidedly non-american looking thing (ironic, given the name).
Compare that to Maserati Quattroporte. No contest in the looks department in my opinion.

it looks like a corvette from the front! Its a bit better than I expected but still its missing something. It looks like the darker colors will suit the car better.

That blue one (Panamera 4S) looks exactly like a Chrysler Crossfire from the rear...almost identical rear hatch.
First the Cayenne, now this......Dr. W has got to go.

horibble, a mismosh of designs, few of which flow well with one another.
front bumper is too high.
slits behind the front fenders out of place
to many seams by the rear fender/wheel
bad turn signals
rear end is terrible.
the lambo 4 door, now thats a good looking four door

I'll need to see it in person. I like the slashes in the front door--very CGT-esque. I don't like the rear, and get rid of the Porsche badge! Even the Cayenne doesn't have "Porsche" emblazoned in chrome on the rear. Yes, we know it's a Porsche. Keeping the "Panamera" is okay though.

The front 1/4 angle shots look fine, but that side-on view hurts. I guess they had to jack up the roofline to get more headroom inside for the rear passengers, but it really compromises the original design intent as seen in the conceptual drawings.

I disagree with the design strategy. They tried to be too faithful to the 911 and it ain't workin'. Should have been a clean sheet of paper. I wonder if the Product Planners in Atlanta are scanning this board. Knock knock! Well, it's too late anyway...the die is cast.
