so they’ve made 25000 ugly porsches! what a milestone. i hope that the next panamera looks much more pleasing to the eye. lets be honest, the 911′s looks hasnt changed much over the decades because thats half the reason you buy a porsche.. for the looks!

I meant to say ‘make mine a white, black wheeled, manual, RWD Panamera S please’.

I don’t mind them, now that I’ve a few in the flesh.

White, black wheels, V8, manual gearbox please. At the lighter end of the Panamera scale so more chuckable, a V8 soundtrack, the joys of changing gears, and able to carry passengers and/or luggage/boards/whatever.

Shorten the front wheel base and extend the rear. That should match up the car’s aesthetics. I would still buy this over the Rapide but I will always buy the Maserati QP GTS over any of them.

I don’t love the shape but I actually don’t mind it either.

I reckon the biggest fault is obvious in the second photo. The lines of the hatch (particularly where it bulges on the roof and then droops between the rear lights) are not great. I think the hatch needs a ‘kick’ in the sheet metal there however I acknowlege that it would make the car look even longer if that happened.

It doesn’t look too bad in these pics. That said, it doesn’t look great either – and that’s not good enough for a car costing around $200k.
