Still not lovin' this car.

The black interior with red stitching is pure sexiness though. More cars need to do contrasting stitching...

There's something about these ugly *** cars that has me tripping over myself when I see them. They have road presence and curb appeal. They force you to look at them. They are the equivalent of a strongfaced girl who has a great body and even better personality. You can't help but to what to hit it despite what your friends may think. Porsche definitely did their thing with this one.

lol imho, just like the 745 when it came out. yeah, a lot of presence, but for the longest time it was a negative kind of presence to me

LOL I've always been a fan of the 745, perhaps thats why I'm drawn to this landshark/bloated whale. Both vehicles speak to me the same way.

actually seen a few on the road and I think it looks good. If I had 90K to spare, I would have a hard time choosing this or the S class

Yes, as much as I admire the performance capabilities of this car, I still have the same negative reaction to the way it looks.

BS! I called up my buddy at SR, and he confirmed that the white Mansory Panamera is in Vancouver, BC, Canada. And SR did modify the white Panamera. And he can prove it. Your boys at Platinum swiped SR's pics.

edit: platinum has changed their blog comments, and are no longer implying they did the mansory panamera mod, but admitting one of their dealers (in this case, SR Auto Grp) did it. see for yourself:

I fail to see what is "ugly" about this car?

Love it, wife loves it....it's going to get serious consideration as the F replacement down the road.

agreed, it's not ugly like sin (like the TL). it's a little different, and i feel it is a design where it grows on you. i didn't like the looks when i first saw it, but having 2nd thoughts and appreciating it a bit more than i used to. maybe the haters don't like it because it's a 4 door?
