Best Panamera chop to date.

Here's a good representation of what it will look like although the shape and graphic of the tail lights will differ and be mer similar to the 997 MkII. Plus there will be contours on the rear and front bumper making it look less like potato or bar of soap depending on how much you hate it.

Nothing changed emperor, just some wax and wheels.

Clothes do not make the man

Re: Best Panamera chop to date.

The rear bumper is too "heavy".

I expect that ther might be some styling applied to this area.

Looks pretty complete to me, unfortunately

The rear bumper does have contours but as you can see in the picture below the contours on the side are covered by camo plates. Once uncovered along with the tail lights the rear will look more graceful.

Re: Best Panamera chop to date.

I agree that those pictures are the best to date.
I think that the car looks quite nice.

The wheels make quite a bit of difference (IMO). One of the (many)less attractive aspects of the mules is that the wheels seem too small for the swollen body. This adds to bloated look of the car.

Re: Best Panamera chop to date.

I personally think is the idea of hatchback on a 4 door sports sedan that turns everyone off, at least I would say for the U.S. customers.

If you notice no car manufacturer brings their station wagon models across the ocean.

For some reason station wagons were never received well in the U.S. and it's unfortunate that the panamera looks too much like a station wagon from the side view

. However I have no doubt that it'll sell like crazy.

Re: Best Panamera chop to date.

The Panamera doesn't look like a station wagon by many miles. C-pillar much different, shaping of the roof and much else. It's appearance is much lower, not to mention the non up-right design and absence of a third window. Just look at videos of it in motion, absolutely nothing in common with an A6. It will look more coupe-ish once the camo has unfolded. The test mule looks like a station wagon because of the tinted windows, fake green house outline and partially covered rear light. It's all on purpose.

Porsche had even intensified the faux station wagon look on the early test mules.
