I may have said the Panamera is a good looking car, and I stand by that. But sometimes we need to reach across the aisle and seek compromise with those of differing opinion. To that end, I offer a bad looking Panamera. Can’t we all just get along?

Nope. All Panameras are ugly as sin and look like a jelly bean.

It’s like a Honda Civic that had panels replaced after a crash but never bothered to paint them.

So much for compromise, huh?

Mansory?

And whatever happened to that Panamera concept that looked more like a shooting brake than, well, the halfway point we have now (yes, it’s better than when it started but still)?

I kind of like that.

It’s the ones like this that I can’t stand:

Fucking UGH.

Yep, not a good look.

The first gen Panamera never has been a photogenic car. In person they are gorgeous, especially in the right colour with the right wheels. In picture they can be quite ungainly.

Nah, just a poorly considered wrap. There is a Mansoury-esque widebody Panamera around town that is iffy though.

Didn’t Porsche announce they were going to build the long roof version with the new Panamera?

The base V6 in light colors like that do look wrong, but S models and Turbos in dark colors look very good to me.

Exactly right. They aren’t easy to capture well on camera, and I hated them at first. Then I saw one and have since driven several, and I’m a believer.

The new panamera is beautiful.

Not when it comes to a Panamera. A Macan, maybe. Maybe.

I disliked them until I saw one at the auto show and then sat inside it. Ever since then, I’ve found them beautiful. I don’t totally hate the one you’ve pictured either.

Nope. I’m not reaching across the aisle here. Just because the owner has made questionable choices doesn’t necessarily mean their car isn’t sexy to me.

There’s other cars where questionable choices ruin the car. It just doesn’t apply here, in my opinion.

The new one is a damn fine looking car.

I really like them, but to me, this matte wrap and the blackout trim don’t suit it at all.

I like the Panamera. They are great looking in person, except for this one (although it may look better in person too). I kinda dig two tone cars, there just aren’t enough of them these days.

New one looks much better. I drove the last generation and I didn’t like anything about it, I had liked it a little bit before. The interior just feels so cramped with all the buttons everywhere.

Not many cars can pull that off. I love those Rivs.

I actually prefer the buttons to screens and menus, and the seats are magnificent.

It will only look good when we get a new 928 (Panamera Coupe)

If I had the money, I would buy a wrecked Panamera and make this.

That would be very cool.
