Somehow the Panamera looks a bit out of place in the company of the SLR concept, Vyron, One-77, etc.

As always, Porsche has injected the Panamera with superb technology, but maybe for the next iteration, they could hire the Italians to dress up the looks a bit...errr... a lot!

+1 I'd love to know what the market is for these cars. They don't seem to change hands very often for some reason.

I have to say it looks better in the flesh but it still doesn't do anything for me. I wouldn't call it ugly but the proportions just don't look right and from a variety of angles it's just too bland. I'm betting they'll be a quick restyle in a couple of years.
