So I saw a Panamera on the road today...

...and it was butt ugly

The front end looked nice, like a slimmer Cayenne...and then the back end of the car looked like Oprah in spandex workout pants

HUUGE ***, and not the da-donk-a-donk type either. What a disappointment. I was excited to finally see one...and then I saw it. Ugh.

By all accounts the Panamera Turbo is an amazing car mechanically, and inside. But that stupid hatch-back bubble and the simple mass of the rear end ruins it for me.

Anyone else seen one in person yet?

Saw it at the dealer and I have to admit, it caught my eye. Granted, I am not wanting to own one... but, it looked much better in person!

I do have to say... lowered and rims make the world of difference....

The panamera turbo is a yes and no for me. Very expensive considering you pretty much need to buy an ELM ( for a porsche prob 2.5K) and 6k wheels (21 inches ATLEAST for this car) tires etc on top of the what 140-60 Gs you gotta throw down for the car.

Still it looks ok stock but not 140 grand ...

The photo of the black car above makes the car look very good...which it does from the front. I thought it would look better in person but the rear end didn't.

Now I gotta drive one. Off to Rusnak soon

Wow-your initial description reminds me of a few women that came into the bar last night. heh.

Yeah, not sure what they were thinking on this one...still looking forward to driving one, but doubt I'd drop the $$.

The black modded one looks pretty damn good. I would like to drive one. Probably won't happen anytime soon.
