When you see them in person they are much longer then I expected.

Pictures are blah to me, but when on the road they are kind of sexy

I've looked them over several times at the 2 cars shows and at the local dealer, ugggg.

But I'm very surprised I have not seen 1 on the road so far, and cars in this price range are not uncommon around here.

Still don't like it. 1SICLEX, the picture of the Panamera at the dealership reminds me of a hippo and its baby.

my neighbor just bought one about a month ago. it looks fine to me- a much better option than the mercedes r-class. she likes the rear space for the kids, and its surprisingly low to the ground. when i park next to her, it feels like my car's slightly higher (which i hate).

Not the case for me, I've owned a 911 and 2 Boxsters I love the more functional Porsche designs.

The hippo picture was cool.
