I don't mind it.

It wouldn't be a Porsche if everybody loved it.

Somebody recently posted interior pics. It's laughable. Worst interior ever. HUGE buttons, and tons of them. What you'd get if a Porsche & Hummer mated.

EDIT: oh here it is:

Who would honestly buy that car when you could get a CLS63 or Maser QP for the same money??? (Of course I mean, "lease", but you get the picture)

If I fit in it i would.

I cannot fit in a CLS 63 and would never buy another MB product again. As far as the QP who wants a fancy bins built car that depreciates faster than a Hyundai and is a nightmare to repair which needs work more often than an early 70's Jaguar?

I have no issues with the interior. Buttons look logically placed and easily accessible.

Big buttons are a good thing. Many buttons are fine since the alternative is something like (yuuch) I-Drive.

Hey, I love Porsches plenty, but I'd most certainly lease a QP over the Panamera. And if we're worried about costs, size, etc., I would pick an Audi S8 over even the QP. I think Porsche had a real chance here, but unfortunately, the aesthetic is a HUGE consideration when cars cross the $100K barrier.

Unfortunately it wasn't very well disguised. Sure hope the coupe is better proportioned.

My initial impression was that I like it, and I still do. Especially in that blue.

At the very least, even if you don't like it, it still has that quirky "Porsche-ness" about it. I suspect it will grow on people.

The key fob is in the shape of the car? That's sweet...
