It looks fantastic from the front, the rear is ever so slightly growing on me. The press pictures do not do the Panamera ANY favors at all.

I can't wait to see this car irl

Hopefully they offer it as a standard metallic color. Since 2007 it's only availably as an expensive special color option...

Edit: I compared it to my Croc - seal grey is darker. But this is a nice (new) color indeed!

Porsche Panamera IS sexy...
Just like the Caynne Turbo S ...

I adore them both and I was never afraid they would look bad,
neither preform bad...

I hope my swedish friend (who happens to be in Geneva this weekend)
to check out the new godies, that he will purchase a Pana!

That would be awsome!

They forgot to add: The Panamera Turbo is going to be expensive... "We'll publish the numbers later but I can tell you that they're far higher than most sports cars." In which case, it had better be bloody fast. I am thinking twice the M5 price for the Panamera Turbo and even as a true Porsche fan I don't think the performance gap between the two will justify the price gap. I am still waiting for an angle from which the back of a Panamera looks good.

Personally, I like my sports cars separate from my family cars. 1 car cannot be both imo. How sporty can a car be with 4 people in it anyway?

Panamera, twice the price of an M5? Not by chance. The Panamera Turbo will be €135 000 in Germany and the M5 cost €97 000, both price include 19% tax. I think that the price is fair considering the interior space advantage, luxury , technology and performance.

Well sure everybody wouldn't mind having an S-class and a Ferrari F430 in the garage but for most people money is an object. Cars like the M5 and Panamera offer a reasonable balance.

Well the white one is in desperate need for proper rims... I think the car looks rather good, not that heavy, with the proper colour (NOT white) ad rims (NOT 17"). I'm going to join DaSilva in saying it is sexy. (However, the Cayenne certainly is not imo, only the GTS manages to look not too ugly, but is still far from good-looking)

I'm eagerly waiting to see it IRL!
