    There's something about the back of the car which makes it as ugly as sin. Just doesn't do it for me at this early stage.

    front of the car does not look bad at all, when they are done with the rear, it might be another best seller for porsche...

    IMO the typical Porsche design works at a 911, a Boxster and even at a Cayman, but when it comes to huge cars like the Panamera will be, it fails.

    They should have tried something new, as they did with the 928.

    Porsche have said that the cars we are seeing are not in their final form.

    Although we still haven't seen the final design but I agree with you %100.

    I think they should have hired an italian design company and so Porsche could concentrate on the engineering, that's what they're good at. Panamera has no heritage like 911 so the design can be completely fresh and radical.

    There is no shame in admitting their design is not up to par with their engineering.

    There is still something about the rear that reminds me of a 1940 Ford sedan. Ugh!
