    Panamera wheel arches

    Notice the wheel arches so huge compare to the tires. looks like the production will get 22 or 24 inch rims.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    It's just a horrible, out of proportion shape. As far as wheel arches go, wasn't the Cayeene suffering from way too big arches until the GTS version?

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    This is turning out to be one ugly car....disappointingly so. I was thinking I wanted one, now not so much.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    I wouldn't pass judgement just yet... I recall having seen pictures that made it look like the camo on this car was much more effective than I'd first thought. I don't remember which thread, etc, but there was a shot of an open door and it looked like that camo stuff was 6 inches deep! imho ymmv and all that...

    Like passing judgement on a girl's fugure if she is dressed in nun's gown.

    Hope you're right. I'm trying to imagine what it looks like without all that taped on crap and not loving it.:!

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    It doesn't seem to be so comfy in there :\

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    Rear seat room should be about par to the MB CLS.

    My guess of the rear panels will have curves similar to the Cayman, and the rear door might compete with the Maser Quattroporte for sexyness.

    RC stated that the rear reminded him a lot of the 997, but at the same time it didn't look like a 997.

    I agree nothing innovative, but is the back the carrera any more exciting? Perhaps we got used to it.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    hey reginos do you have the other page showing the front of the car?!!

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    Can't exactly use that green car as a stepping stone, the whole rear quarter panels are padded, and it looks like even the rear hatch looks like a fake one too, but for all likelyhood the car will have a BIG butt, it's in the Porsche tradition

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    It does look from many angles like a Lexus GS 300.

    Ron, the picture you judge is too old now to compare the wheel arches. There the car has still much more camo than the last pictures posted more recently.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    The green car (posted by Ron) is a very old picture.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    The Magazine shots posted by reginos aren't that bad, even though the front looks like a corvette.

    But the mule is still not like the curves from the mag pics.

    Re: Panamera wheel arches

    Why isn't this Panamera the "stretch 911" as beautiful as the 4door strech DB9 that is the Aston Rapide.

    Might have something to do with the car they've begun with . Jokes aside, the 911 has a very distinct shape, which unfortunately doesn't lend well to any sort of manipulation, such as the 'stretch limo' treatment.
