Geez... the Panamera could've been so great... but with that 911-esque rump on it, it just looks... odd. 

Still, as a practical, fun daily driver, it might not be bad.  Gotta think an M5 or Quattroporte would receive more envious glances though...

The Aston Martin Rapide is the looker of the bunch.

Kind of like the rump on the Panamera, but the long hood (at odds with the short rear) and strange roofline get me.

+1 for Aston Martin Rapide in the looks department. Thats the Aston Martin way.

The proposed Lamborghini Estoque looks quite nice, in line with its roots.

Porsche Design Depts.

911 Dept - What shall we do this year.... erm nothing.

Cayenne Dept - Lets make a 4x4, and then try and make it look like a 911 no matter how ugly and out of proportion it gets...

Panamera Dept - Lets make a 4 door car, and then try and make it look like a 911 no matter how ugly and out of proportion it gets...

Cayman S Dept - Lets make the best looking and best handling Porsche in ages, done.  "Hello, is that the 911 Dept, can we have an engine please?"

911 Dept - "No, feck off"

As soon as I quit thinking about it as "Porsche's sedan" and started thinking about it as "Porsche's five-door hatch," the rear end became much better for me.

I personally like how they managed to make something which can easily seat the entire family look like a 911.

Hmm... having an open mind, eh?  I dunno about that...   ;D

I wonder how long until MDXtacy has one ordered.

They should leave the 911 look alone, on the wrong shaped body it just looked like a blob of melted cheese...

i have to agree.   i really want to like porsche but they need to fire any of the people involved in designing the exteriors of their cars.   the only porsche that isn't totally fugly is the 911.  and that car has the engine in the wrong place.  haha  okok  dwarf dude don't come down on me again!!!   :P   i like the idea of a hatch err fast back?  ummmmm   what the duck is it!!!!

 >:(  :nono: Kevlar, you've been warned.  Not seeing the beauty in the Cayman is a punishable offense!  OFF WITH HIS HEAD!   :stfu:
