Default The Porsche Panamera has grown on me

Ok, it's looked like like a dog's breakfast in many pics. But there's one I've seen running around me and I do have to say, in person, it really doesn't look nearly as bad, even kind of cool in a peculiar way that may age well. Now, consider the reason it looks like that. It has increadible backseat room, head room in particular. If I recall correctly it was because either the CEO, or chief design engineer at the time it was being drawn up insisted that he be able to sit comfortably in the back and he's like 6'6". Now consider the thing is just a beast, performing WAY beyond what you'd expect from a big heavy sedan.

The one around me is white like this. I do like white cars.

I've seen a few of them in person as well and I have to agree, I kinda like it now.

I can't afford either of these but if I were able to I'd buy the Maserati Quattroporte GTS.

I like the Panamera and my wife loves it. I tested one out and I'm 6'6 and I fit comfortably in the fron and rear. The thing handles really nice and youll forget youre in a 4 door sedan-like car.

Front = Good
Rear = Awful

I still can't get into them, although the fact that the turbo can do 0-60 in under 4 sec makes it slightly cooler
