Default Porsche Panamera Turbo

This four door sedan is so fast ! Forget CTS-V or even ZR-1.
If I had money to spend, this would be my car !

It's pretty ugly, especially from the back. Reminds me of a hardtop chrysler crossfire

I saw one at the dealership where my wife and I bought her Audi, and we saw one on the street last week. They look OK in person, but very unproportional...kinda like a 911 stretch limo.

Sorry to be rude but I feel so strongly about this that I really don't care who I piss off. This is the ugliest car ever made. Anyone who thinks it looks anything but horrible has awful taste. I'm not even going to admit to this being simply opinion... that is factually an ugly car.

I totally agree I saw one of these cars the other day and there huge and just look horrible. Porsche is mostly 2 door sports cars not luury sedans. The Cayenne is ok for the porsche line up but damn the panamera should not be.

Yes, they look like a streached limo, aftermarket, 911.
And for the turbo at 150k, there's alot of other choices out their.

This is a car that will grow on people.

Females will never be impressed. Car guys, knowing whats "under the hood" will be.

Two rug rats, and a wife, could turn the trip seeing her parents into fun.

Only if you think getting laughed at by everyone else on the road is fun. There is no reason to get this over a CTS-V. Not one reason.

Default It is ugly but man

the interior is incredible and it hauls ass. With some tweeking it would do even better. I just bought my 2nd CTSV (09&010) and would have bought the panawhatchatamacallit if it was available. I little tweeking on the outside and they may have a winner. Then again tweek the CTSV and it can do some tricks to.

Panamera Turbo - not a handsome car and very expensive. I'd rather have the MB E63 AMG for ~$50k less.

Both cars feature in CAR magazine's Performance Car of The Year 2009 test:
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/CAR-Fea...The-Year-2009/

E63 beats the Panamera Turbo around the track.

It might be fast, but it's Elephant Man ugly. I'm usually a fan of Porsches, but this one is hideous.

The Panamera is without question the very best sedan I have ever driven. It is phenomenal.

Performance wise its amazing but Im not a huge fan of the looks.... If I was going to buy a 4 door "supercar" I would probably go for a CLS 63 and save myself $50-60K or maybe even the Audi RS6

I don`t know if you are old enough, but when I was younger, the saying was " When you smile in a Rambler, the world laughs at you " I think they still have that honor
