It's a liftback, not a station wagon. They are pretty damn different.

Also, nice timing, Porsche.

They need to start equipping new $100,000+ luxury vehicles with a cattle catcher to keep the starving masses off the hood while you navigate across the wasteland back home to your bunker.

I'd be glad to be seen driving one...

into a corner way to fast ending in a catastrophic plume of carbon fiber and rich wood interior accents

I think all (most) Porsche vehicles are beautiful. I like that they have a consistent design language. This one is no different in my opinion.

Wagons have three sets of windows.

This is a 4 door hatchback.

an ugly 4 door hatchback.

For as much shit the Cayenne gets amongst car nuts, apparently it sold well enough to give Porsche enough money to put the Carrera GT in production...

 

[ghibli99]

Horrible. Pretty much getting torn to shreds on all the car forums as well.

 

[Flo_Evans]

wow a porsche I do not want.

Not quite a wagon, not quite a hatchback... reminds me of the horrendous dodge magnum. :lol

Remember those goofy Dodge Magnum commercials?

"Cool" guy rolls up in his Magnum station wagon.

Announcer guy: Gee, what do ya have in there?

"Cool" guy: Let's see here, some tools, a hard hat, a chainsaw, a blow torch, an M-16 assault rifle, a F-22 fighter jet and a couple of 2x4s.

 

[Azzurri]

Looks like an ugly Bently GT

That's a definition I can get behind.

Porsche Panamera = Ugly 4 door hatchback/liftback

I'd seen pics a few days ago and thought it was horrendous. OP's pics changed my mind however. It's got a bit of a retro shape going on at the read end. That's no bad thing.

It's not the end of the world, dude.

When did Porsche ever make a car that WASN'T ugly? The 911 was always kind of cutesy bug eyed novelty. You could never put it on the same stage as a Ferrari. It's like putting a chubby girl next door with a cute face next to a super model. Well, I guess the Cayman and Carrera GT are sort of nice.

The Germans are great engineers. The Italians are great artists.

The Carrera GT is the only good looking Porsche. Even the Cayman is ugly as hell mainly because of that ugly hump of a roof.

True, for the most part. Although to me, the designers at Mercedes Benz have produced some of the most elegant and beautiful cars ever. Observe.

This is art.

I thought this thread was about Panera Bread.

Meh. Not a Merc fan. BMW for life!

Egh, talk about ugly designs!

Yeah they went a bit nuts with the "shark" theme, but thankfully they seem over it now. :lol

These were the coolest looking Beemers ever:

M1

It was designed by lambo though....

I would also submit that the 507 laughs at the abomination that is the Z4

edit: waits for you to post pics of the 300SL.... :lol

 

[jts]

However, he sheds a tear of pride when he sees the Z8:

It's the car of the fucking forever!

 

[Souldriver]

The Cayenne is a crime against god. This is merely a crime against man. Also, nice timing, Porsche.

²

This could turn out to be a pretty impressive and elegant car in person (I'll have to see), the Cayenne however is a complete abortion. Good lord, such a shitty design.



Yes, the Passat CC, AM Rapide, Z8 are beautiful cars! I also like the station wagon of a car model often more than the sedan version. However, the Panamera is not a real station wagon. There must be another name to describe its shape. "liftback" for example, like mio said.

 

[lethial]

What's next, a Porsche SUV?

amirite?

 

[elostyle]

I would like it with a less saggy ass, 911 headlamps and less stupid detail on the sides and hood.
