On a GTS?!?!? I don't think so... Perhaps the V6 models.
But now that the entire Panamera line-up in the 2nd generation model will sport Audi engines, let's see what the future holds for the last Porsche-engineered V8s and their depreciation.

These laptop on wheels will only depreciate further once VW and Audi dilutes supply with similar offerings in the Treg, Q7, A# and the likes.

Saying goodbye to the last GenOne Panamera is like saying goodbye to a monkey's red a** at the zoo.
Interesting to have seen it, but you won't take the opportunity to return and see it again.
Sorry. It's just a fugly design, thanks to Wedeking The Giant messing up the roofline. The earlier front fascia was no looker, either. Go ahead; flame all you want.
Can't wait to lay eyes and hands on the Gen2 in person. FAR better design. THAT I will seriously consider as a longterm vehicle.

I have a 2015 Panamera GTS and personally think it look fine. Although I read all the negative comments about its looks, I too only receive enthusiastic, sometimes envious comments about owning such a grand automobile, a Porsche.

Wow.....from an owner of former great looking cars...'71 Gremlin; '73 Vega; '77 Rabbit; '70 Cutlass; '80 Rabbit,'03 HummerH3!
My Gremlin cost $200; the Cutlass, $500. The Vega was free. The attraction? The price tag.
Having grown up next to my family's junkyard: I regard myself as an expert on fugly automobiles.
If I choose to spend something in the range of $100,000 for an automobile, I'd better be absolutely in love with every feature.
If you feel that way about the Gen1 Panamera: God love you. Enjoy it. I hate it. None need agree with me.

Now here, in contrast, is the monkey.

You can see the difference, in that------DAMMIT! This, apparently is the Panamera.
See? It's just SO hard to make the distinction, except for the license plate. That, for me is the tip-off.

In the 18 months I owned it, I got one compliment on the car. Guy compared it to the lines of the Jaguar E type. I didn't really agree, even if I didn't think it was "fugly" as the trolls like to say.
Ultimately I moved on because I didn't like how big it was, and it just didn't feel like a sports car to me. I'm driving a 991.1 4S now, and one of the less-obvious things is how much more maneuverable it is. I always ended up having to correct my parking the Panamera, and never have that problem in the 911.
