Hottest wagon on the planet!

What the Panamera should be!

Moar pics!

Definitely a big step forward for the Panamera, and far better than the ungainly sedan. The rear end reminds me of the first-gen Lexus IS wagon, which I liked too. I really wish it were possible to buy an M5 wagon in the US, or an M3 wagon anywhere. This isn't bad either! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xgakhV3hEw&feature=g-all-u

Man, the back of that is breathtakingly ugly.

Wait a second. That isn't an AMC Eagle.

 

[nerp]

Dodge Dart tail lamps.

Man, the back of that is breathtakingly ugly.

Huh? Far better execution than a regular panamera. The tails are definitely a nod to 928 s4

Get your eyes examined. Fool.

The panamera is so odd to me.. It's almost like the bangled 5 series; when it came, I thought it was HORRIBLE.. A travesty to automotive design....



......but a few years later and it's not so bad at all, actually kind of sexy..

 

[AdamK47]

The Porsche badging ties it all together.

Thought the same thing. Really neat.

I didnt like it at first either but after seeing a few and driving a few they really grew on me.

Better than the older one.. but still doesn't look as good as an RS6 Avant IMO.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Horrible, just like panarera or whatever it's called crap

Man, the back of that is breathtakingly ugly.

+1

Reminds me of a 90's Taurus rear end for some reason.

 

[Ryan]

No.

 

[Elfear]

No.

That's what I thought I was going to see when I opened this thread. So sexy.

Are you sure it's not a nod to Cylons? Looks vaguely toaster like.

 

[CraigRT]

Blah. Porsche is just lame anymore.

Both the CTS-V wagon and the RS-4 wagon are better looking. I'm partial to the RS-4 myself but I love both.

 

[coldmeat]

I actually like the panamera. Don't like the rear end of the one in the OP, same as the cts-v wagon, it's like they didn't even try.

Sorry, the Caddy wagon is awful. I can't tell the difference between it and their 'crossover' thing, which I found to be really hideous. The back end just isn't shaped right.

The Panamera...eh, the new one is looking better. But it's still ugly. They need to just go the RX8 route and use half-size doors with hidden handles...it just has to be shorter...but I guess if you want a real back seat in a rear engine, you're limited on options. Can't exactly stretch the passenger compartment into the trunk for extra room.

Wait, I think I'm retarded...not even going to hide it by erasing the above. That thing is a front engine, isn't it? Why in the hell can't they make the back end look better? They can still have their '911 styling' back there without all that length in the middle, at least. Make it like a good subcompact hatch: rear passengers or trunkspace; choose one.

edit:

Sweden: Where the men are men and wagons are wagons. And people talk funny.

Here here. If I'm getting a wagon, I want glass all the way back for visibility. Too many of the current "hatches" have a bunch of metal back there, creating blind spots.

Nothing like a little STI flavor. If only I could have purchased this car here.

I'd rock the CTSV wagon though. Rock it so hard people will come knocking.

 

[phucheneh]

Seems like such a simple thought, but I never realized that- it's the presence of the long third window that makes a proper 'wagon.' There are sedans with more glass than the CTS wagon. Flamesuit on...

...it reminds me of the Accord 'Crosstour' or whatever that thing was.

I like that Subie a lot. What year is it? I always considered them more 'hatches,' but that thing has some tasty wagon flavor.

Instead of the Volvo, I was going to post a picture of an Audi Avant of some type...but they basically look like 'five door hatches' now, too. Sad day.

Merc and AMG beg to differ.

 

[Crono]

Classic case of baby got (ugly) back.

Not sure exactly what year that is, but that model design legacy is 2005-2009 in the US. 2005 was the only year the wagon was available with a turbo and 5 speed manual. 2006 and 2007, the turbo was only available in automatic. They still built the turbo wagon manuals in the indiana plant, they would just ship them out of the US for sale. 2010 was the start of the new model.

Where's the picture of the panamera? All I see are two pictures of some weird blue-grey sick on a white surface.
