What you all are forgetting is the Porsche name will have buyers flocking to the showroom to buy this car. As I have stated so many times, Porsche knows its customer base and they know they could put a Porsche badge on a Kia and the customers will buy it.
It is the way it is and why all other car manufacturers are envious of Porsche.

It's a gigantic ugly mess with almost zero camo when gas prices are rising long term. It has NOT changed one bit since it made its first appearance.

Totally agree, But does that mean the brand is clever/cynical? Or the customer base is blind/stupid?

Guys guys guys, to more we say the Panamera is ugly the more people going to believe it. I think we need to get used to the shape (as far as we can see it). I am confident the Panamera is going to be a hit and will make Porsche an even better company. More money to invest in further develop their sports car series IMO.

The Panamera will be another car in the Porsche design ethos. It will be neither beautiful nor ugly but it will have some design elements from other Porsches and it will stand out as something different with Porsche DNA.
No production Porsche in history has been beautiful in the Italian School sense of the word. Think of the 924 and 928 when they first came out, think of how the very first 911s looked at the time, think of the 959 etc etc. The Cayenne and the Panamera continue this tradition.
Porsche are not willing to build cars like the Quattroporte or the Scaglietti because these cars are not them.
However, IMO the Porsche design although not arresting at first grows on people and the cars look good, even better than when they were new, even after many years.

You are a romantic and re the Panamera/Cayenne you are in denial.

..... Did you see a Ferrari or a Mercedes AMG enthusiast compare his car with the Nissan GT-R and complain that the Japanese machine is faster at 20% of the price? Of course not. They enjoy their cars and don't even compare.
........
The Maseratis can be considered in the "beautiful" category but try using them day in day for say 60,000 kms in a year and come back to talk again!

As for the latest range of Maserati's there are more people on Maseratilife praising the reliability of the cars compared to Mercedes that they have owned for example. Apart from clutch issues on the cambiocorsa 3200 and 4200 series cars there don't appear to be huge numbers of common faults.

As the Cayenne is Porsche's biggest selling model whilst being the ugliest car on the road and in an anti 4x4 environment, a prettier saloon would no doubt be a runaway success. The Aston saloon looks more promising.
