What's with the running boards?Reventón;3223358
Make it black, Porsche, make it black. If I owned one I would go out of my way to paint those frickin' runnings boards black. Jeez.And the tail lights are almost exactly the same shape as the Boxster and Cayman. But not quite. Also, I don't like the kink in the rear quarter window. It's not "Porsche" enough.

It's still a sedahatchagon, and still rather unorthodox looking. The front's pretty good, but the back...is not. It looks as if it's having an identity crisis back there. "I want to be rear-engined, but I'm not!"

Not keen, if I'm honest. The rear end just does't work, whether looking directly towards the back or whether viewing the car in profile. Would look way better as a proper saloon instead of some kind of stretched hatchback. It'll probably grow on me in the same way the Cayenne did, but at the moment I actually prefer the look of the Cayenne. And it's not a patch on the Cayman, which is the looker of the range at the moment for me.
Big fast exec saloons? It'd still be a Maserati Quattroporte for me.

The front looks amazing to me. You look at the sides and think... okay. Then you look at the rear and think... what's this? The average profile of this Porsche Panamera remains. This reminds me of a past car that looks great up front, yet completely unorthodox at the rear. Remember the Chrysler Crossfire? I'm not sure if the Porsche designers were designing the back while listening to "Bootylicious" by Houston's own Beyoncé (or Sasha Fierce nowadays). I, like most others, don't call the backs of cars as "butts," but it's pretty fat in the back. It's just a crazy synergy of sedan and Porsche. Only thing weirder is if Porsche took styling cues from the Porsche 959 and apply them to this new sedan (though the 959 is a coupe).
Otherwise, I'm not hateful of this car. I don't hate it. Approval: 80%.

I'd take that Estoque over a Panamera any day.

Someone sat on a Cayenne.
Not a looker. Too many contradicting shapes/themes.

I'm amazed just how good the front looks compared to what I expected. Even the rear looks good. Well done porsche!
In comparison to the estoque, I would probably pick it only because when i see the estoque i don't think lamborghini, the panamera is distinctly porsche though.

It looks pretty much how i expected. Although the side view certainly isn't it's best angle.
You're both wrong. Ferrari California FTW (or lose)

Frankly, I think in terms of design, I believe Prosche have lost the plot.
They should look at there German/italian Cousins for inspiration

Amazing look and design. Porsche have become very lazy in their approach to vehicular aesthatics. LOL.

still a little heavy out back...make the back a little "Faster." Damn thing looks like a Scirocco with only two doors. And I, for one, am not impressed with that widebody Golf.

Somebody call for more? 20 more images show up.
I still think it looks good. Although I have to say it looks very out of place on a race track.

The Estoque is nearly a line for line rip-off of a late-90s Dodge concept car, and the Rapide has all the effort put into it that a car that was basically designed in 1993 could have. The Porsche is the only one refreshing in its uniqueness, even if it is similar to an old Guigiaro concept in profile.

^Twas the 989, and I think it was more 911-based than anything (oddly enough rumoured to be rear-engined). Was in development right before Porsche sales (particularly those of the 928) imploded, then was canceled to cut costs for fear of Porsche going bankrupt. Eventually morphed into the 993 911.
Porsche also did a one-off four door 928 that was never meant for production in he late 80s as a gift to Ferry Porsche.

I remember having seen in one of my books that Porsche had a 912 sedan concept car in 1965 or so... but it never made it to production... Anyways, you're bringing up some good facts
