I don't like Hofele rear designs, and the wheels is so 2005 (atleast from where I live).

But still nice.

I don't. To me it's very Mazda 3 looking.

I have seen better Panameras. The wheels do look dated as hell. I would prefer something with a lip with staggered fitment and a drop

I am not a fan or the R8 esk rear, or the wheels, but overall a very sick Panamera.

I've seen only one TechArt interation and this one that manages to do something with that sloping rear look... still like it, but might change my wheels upon further thought....

Not quite to my likes.

I saw one with mesh wheels with a very slight drop down in Carlsbad some weeks back. Simple is nice with this one.
