whether you like the looks or not the car has no equal at any price. amazing interior, amazing performance even in base config, amazingly useful space for a sports sedan, and to me, amazing looks.

Agreed on most of above, but I find it to be ugly. But looks are so subjective, and I am a Porsche fan, but what the heck... See plenty around here, they draw so-so attention.

same here, i think the car is ugly but its presence and performance kick serious butt. i don't find interior amazing at all though, too busy. and i definitely can't find any space in the back (worse than cls)

I really think a MMC Panamera GTS is going to kick some ***. Porsche usually tidies up styling very well with their MMC.

How is the rear legroom? Is it more tight like a GS? or closer to the normal wheelbase LS?

the rear legroom to me seems fine. i'd say it's slightly more than the GS and less than the regular LS, and the rear seats really hold you in. and i personally think the interior isn't all that luxurious, but a good blending of the bucket seats and some luxury with the wood accents.

far from the ls. because it's only 2 seats in the back, it's a bit "narrow" to begin with. and legroom, i say it's about the same as the gs

I agree. I think interior room sucks for how long and wide it is, but it sure is nice to look at. Kudos for performance and interior design, but that's where it stops for me.

I've been trying hard to open up to the modified versions, but they are also no bueno to me.
