Default Porsche Panamera isn't ugly

Am I the only one that thinks this? I see one in black drive past me every now and then, also I saw one in a dark blue which IMO looked fantastic. It is definately top of my 'family GT car for trips to St Tropez' list to line up in my fantasy garage, next to a supercharged Exige etc

Porsche Panamera isn't ugly .................................. But it is though isn't it!! It's such a half arsed designed car it's untrue!

Personally I'd have the Brabus CLS over this for family performance car.

Was a black Panamera turbo at the gym yesterday - very sexy. Only Subaru can do true ugly these days.

In pictures, the Panamera looks ghastly, but in the flesh, there is something truly beautiful about it.

Not seen it in one colour that looks bad, but then i haven't really seen that many. To me it looks it's price and there's not that many cars that say that to me!

Saw one the other day, it does look better in the flesh, but its still no oil painting. In the mirror it looks like a fat 911, from the rear it looks like a squashed Cayenne. One thing does have is presence, maybe because of its size.

If it was designed by Kia as a replacement for the Magentis, I'd easily forgive it. But we're talking about a £61K+ car here, and I can't just help thinking that Porsche could have comissioned something far better cosmetically. They really need to get out the jelly-mold design concept.

It is a bit of a sight for sore eyes, saw one the other day, the roofline and side is too flat for that shape, to get the doors in, then they stick a 911 front and rear on, it just looks like a badly stretched 911 but will, no doubt sell like mad.

Saw the new Cayenne the other day, looked a lot better, less bulbous, still a monster but didnt look quite as offensive.
