This is definetly the most over priced ugly sedan on the market. And whats with the Nissan dashboard design looks like it belongs on a $29,000 all you can eat sedan and yes I have seen one in the flesh and its just as ugly and old looking at the side and back as it is in the pictures. Sadly many people with no taste will buy them becuase they have a porshe badge on them porbally the old porsche drivers who have moved away from there 911′s its very much an old mans porsche. The porsche your having when your not having a porsche. The Aston may be questional quality but the lines of the Aston as far more alluring and supremely buitiful in comparison to this ugly duckling.

Just saw this in the flesh over the weekend.

Far better in the flesh than the pictures would have you believe. Interior console styling is by far the best in the Porsche range. Went there over the weekend to put my name on a 997.2 C2 PDK in Meteor Grey, the interior of which is like comparing my other car’s interior (’08 Golf R32) to the 911. The Panamera looks that good.

The only thing that looks strange is how small the wheels look in comparison to the rest of the car. Even though the Turbo S’ 20″ are monstrous, the arches and wheel-base looks disproportionately small and long. Monster truck wheels 22″ or 24″ should be fitted!

I agree, the first thing FAG should do is fire all the design team and let the Italians design all future models.

Ugly car, just saw it in Germany. Who will buy this crap in today’s time where fuel efficiency is the trend. Porsche is a real Dinosaurs, glad that VW bought a major share in this dying brand and hopefully drive it in a better direction and away from the current crappy Cayenne and Panamera.

Hans, from your your Fiat 500 Bambino’s rear view mirror, everything coming from behind must look “überholprestige” from your vantage point. (:

Woody Allen driving a Smart Car makes more sense than anyone in this Porsche…

It is really trying too hard to have that Porsche look, but as mentioned about, does not have that real appeal like the Maserati Quatroporte does.

It nearly looks like someone stepped on the Cayenne and converted it from SUV to 4 door sedan. Honestly, stylistically and aesthetically I think the Caymen S is Porsche’s best effort.

Well i wish they made d boot proportion bit sleeker & left d miserable hatch-style door which reminded me of nissan pintara rofl. And i cant help wondering why they place a “porsche” logo on d boot unlike other porsches.
Meh..better go for maser quattroporte. Way classier, its just like “not trying hard to look cool” haha

YacaNoda, I have just soiled my pants laughing at your comment.
Do us a favour, go and start your own car company.
I am sure the existing car co’s will take note of your input by the way.

I’m sure this new direction by performance car manufactures to stretch their sports cars to accomodate two more doors will make a few sales, but accross the board, it is results in a range of cars that will be celebrated as the ugliest of the era. Aston Martin, Porchse… the rest of you… you should be ashamed. These things are hideous and you’ve soiled your name and integrity by releaseing them!
