Saw this for the first time today
This is the sickest sedan in the market(I am not being sarcastic). Great quiality, great everything, too fast as well. I would love to have one in a heartbeat.
As far is looks, well, it is not the someone's cup of tea but the car is a supercar.

I was reading Motor Trend or Car and Driver, that thing goes 0-60 faster than the last 911 they tested, gave rave reviews about the interior, the exterior on the other hand........

I saw one of these pulling down 279 in Pittsburgh. It just looks odd, you see the classic Porsche front face and then it is long as hell. Just weird and new.
After a while I bet I could get used to it. Haven't seen the inside of one, but I bet it is nice.

agreed with both, but still, google images "AMC Eagle"
once again, if u r looking for pure performance, for the price of one Panamera, you can get a Corvette ZR1 (1/4 mile in 11 flat), and an Evo X for the winter!
for $140+ large, one better be getting so much more than just "1/4 in 11.7"!

The Panamera is a Luxury-sport sedan. The ZR1 a two-seater Sports-car. The Evo X a Sports-sedan. Does the ZR1 or Evo have the same level of luxury as a Panamera? Do you honestly think the buyer of a Panamera is the same buyer of an Evo? Riiggght.
No, he'll most likely be comparing it to similar cars like a Maserati Quattroporte, an S-class AMG, etc.
If that's the case, then I'll throw in a Sportbike & an Ariel Atom. LoL
Never understood where some people get their comparisons from. Motortrend?(ex. EvoX Vs
Taurus)

i think u missed the point of everything i said.
its simple, you said "The turbo model does the 1/4 in 11.7. That's all I got to say."
to which my response is, NO, that cannot be all that is said. for that base price, there better be more than just simple-minded performance numbers. in fact, again, something you yourself mention - the typical Panamera buyer - does not care so much about 1/4mile ET... rather cares more about the look, the appearance, the presence...
as you have said, the competition is Maserati, Mercedes AMG, etc., each of which also offer excellent designs and great looks, something, imo, the porsche completely lacks

the typical Panamera buyer cares more about appearance and presence....this thing FOR SURE lacks in that department! haha
FAIL! If it looked better I would have a different opinion but for that much money....... 
although, chance are, the Panamera being different in appearance than most of its competitors, might actually do the opposite - though not for everyone's taste, the potential buyer might be enticed for this specific reason - uniqueness...
