My neighbor just bought a Black on Black Panamera...still can't swallow the looks of this car. Nice from some angles, ok at some, but downright ugly at most IMO

I see a white one everyday and 1-2 others a day.

I got to see one up close at the oc auto show.
Interior is amazing! However, I can now rightfully say that rear end is still atrocious

it's like the ugly girl with inside beauty

I'd still say it looks good from most angles, except the butt part, I would still take a girl that's attractive in most places except the butt , but I'am never a butt man, I don't even like Jennifer Lopez LOL

I guess we have the same taste. I like frontal beauty and then inner beauty, don't care for the rear, but if it's ugly, then it's a turn off

So you consider the Panamera a Lopez front end and an Oprah rear end?

lol j-lo's butt, i don't see anything good about it

i pointed out a panamera to my wife on the road last week, she said it's ugly, but mainly because of the butt. she actually says the front is pretty sexy

car is definitely selling well, just like the cayenne

Still the achievable car that I lust after.

The interior pic doesn't even begin to bring justice to how spectacular it is. Hands down the best interior of any car under $125K that I've encountered.

The black on black looks so right on this model. Funny, my pops is not a big Porsche fan and I've been trying to explain to him that is the move after Lexus and we've seen a few Panamera's around town and he loves it.

Nicely modded, to the point of almost disguising the strange shape of the car.

I like this "8ucky" one even with the black wheels(that I always hate)

Some angles work very well, but the side profile just makes me sad.

I think Porsche should have sacrificed hatch space in favor of a better profile in the rear. That awkward hunch in the back looks almost ridiculous. The bend should be pushed forward and be more reminiscent of the coupes profile while simply being longer to accommodate the the 4 doors and rear passengers.

When it comes to Porsches, design is more important than hatch/trunk space and clearly they gave it this bulbous rear end to create space.

One of my buddy's recently did one of the Porsche Fall drives. The car he was in was the Panamera S and he waxed how nice a driver it is. After getting back, he's been mentioning to check the dealer to get a test drive. No thanks...that can plant a seed I don't want to think about now.

That black one...
