That makes no sense. This car looks nothing like either an Audi or a Mustang.

Agree, though having read a couple of Panamera reviews this week, I'm starting to think it's a good looking car in a light colour (particularly white). Dark colours seem to accentuate the long back (where the proportions start to go wrong).

I'm not saying I'd buy one (though by all accounts it's a capable vehicle) but I don't think it's as ugly as the Cayenne. Admittedly that's not saying much.

I made that same argument last month - I'm guessing they wanted to avoid crossing identities like they did with the Cayenne/Toureg, but they should not have attempted an elongated 911.

I may like the Panamera when I see it IRL, but based on the pics, I'm not a fan.
