i have had a few behind me now on the road --dunno if it's a good or bad thing, but the front looks very much like a c6 corvette. if they did not have that led white strip beneath each headlamp, i'd be 100% sure it was a c6.

seeing it on the road confirms to me that it is a huge car and that it's extremely badly styled.

i've no doubt that dynamically it's great and inside is okay. but really? compared to the out and about maseratis that i see, the bentleys and even the rolls i saw on the pike today, that panamera looks so ugly. i'd even buy an XF or the all-new XJ before buying that car.

at that pricepoint, it's all subjective, so yes, the styling would turn me away.

but people buy the cayenne.....
