Porsche Panamera - Photo Video shoot, with pics

Not open for further replies.
So my GF was in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress, so I went over for the weekend. I had not been before so we booked in at a very cool boutique hotel, the ME by Melia.

SO we were talking to the concierge before going out in the city and I take a look out the window and kinda just go quiet...

There before me was a perfectly polished up Panamera, just ready for it's close up with the model couple and the HD video cams:

Panamera 1
Panamera 2
Panamera 3
Panamera 4
Panamera 5

It was a good trip. 😀
 
Very sexy sedan, I'm glad Porsche is expanding its horizons, they can do a lot with their solid German engineering.
 
When I first saw the concept and tidbits of it earlier, I can't say I was a fan. Now seeing the finished product, I changed my mind.
 
It looks like they took the front and back of a 911 and stuck them on an Infiniti G37 or Lexus LS460.

It doesn't look bad though.
 
Rather depressing car for me. Front is great, everything after the front doors makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
 
It might be a nice car, and it's not ugly, but it's just NOT RIGHT. What's next, a Lamborghini sedan with the front end of a Gallardo and the back of an Audi A8?
 
When I first saw the concept and pics of the car later on, I wasn't sure if I liked it. Well, I didn't like it at first. These pics kind of change my mind, but the car just leaves some uncomfortable feeling in my head. It's just... not right. Something is off.

"oh a porsche, no wait, sedan, no wait..no, a sports car by porsche, oh wait there are 4 doors, but it looks like a porsche *head explodes*" I'm not even remotely coherent in my post because the car just does not make sense to me (not in a practical sense, but rather conflicting design cues). My brain is fried.

If I looked at the car straight on, the concept of a car having 4-doors would never have occurred to me.
 
Thanks for the cool pics. It's fun when you see a new car for the first time in person, whether it's parked or driving down the highway and you speed up to get a good look.

I can't say I like the styling of the Panamera though. Looks like a shortened version of one of those limosines that they make out of a Dodge Charger or something. It's looks like you would a imagine a four door Porsche would look though. It just doesn't look good.
