I had the chance to see the Panamera this weekend:
- Car is approximately as large as I expected it to be. Similar proportions and dimensions as other large sedans (Audi A8).
- Front and front-side view is absolutely great: rather low and wide. Excellent. Also the looks of the front lights is just perfect.
- Side view... As in the pictures above the rear looks a bit "big". The rims (as those on the picture above) look great.
- Rear view: not bad! A unique design.
- Interior: nicely done. I would rank the interior quality on a similar level as a BMW 7 series or Audi A8. Fulfills expectations of potential buyers, I would say.
- Interior space is amazingly large (exceeding my expectations).
The downside is that I could not drive the car nor listen to the new Burmester sound system (I would love to compare it to Audi's B&O).
Official Porsche claim is that the car is about 10s faster on a "typical" GP track like HHR-GP or Leipzig.
Only a test drive will tell whether this car really "feels" very different from existing offers.
