That's funny. I mostly agree, however a woman that is funny and smart automatically seems more attractive.

Of course butt ugly is butt ugly, and that would seem to express a number of people's view of the Panamera.

Biggest issue remains that it has lost the compact look, although agree need to see it in person and my revise my opinion after that. All said and done, it is 20cm too long and should have had a transaxle layout. Still, would you rather drive this or a 7 series, and, like it or not, that is probably the ulitmate question and Panamera probably wins that one.

Thumbs down Okay, I know its old news....I can't swallow the look of Panamera...

Is it an elongated Cayman or 911? If you are trying to make a family car then go all the way and give us a real trunk. And the back...well, the back I thought it looked more like a chrysler than a Porsche. The side mirrors look cheezy....why not the 911 mirrors? Okay, I got it out of my system.

I'm glad it doesn't have a trunk. Who wants to drive an old man's car? We're re-entering a period of hatchbacks being cool. Look at what Audi, BMW and Mercedes have on the way. I'm frankly glad we're getting away from conventional, boring configurations like 3-box sedans.

If I had to buy another sedan to replace my S4 - I'd surely pick up a CTS-V before a Panamera. What a freakin' eyesore.

The rear is horrible. The front OK. Wish they went with the round lights instead.

It looks much better in the flesh; unlike the immediately forgettable clone offerings from BMW, Caddyshack, Hyundai, Lexus, and Mercedes.
