Looks like the bastard child of a Volvo and a BMW, with a hint of Nissan.

Porsche Cayenne 2.0?

Another big detraction from a sportscar tradition to capture some moola from the "masses."

I quite like the front half, but the back of it slopes out too far. The rear windscreen is hideous.

It looks ok, but i don't see the point. You get NO high driving position, it's heavier than a 911, performance-wise probably a lil slower than Cayman & a lot more expensive.

On the plus side - proper 4-seater with enough legroom & probably a decent boot. But if you are not interested in 911 kinda speed & want a lot of room & good handling, why not buy a cayenne?

Wrong. Just wrong.

The only consolation for me is that it will bring Porsche extra cash to make even better 911s, Boxsters and Caymans. And maybe let them kill off the Cayenne.

Sorry, not going to happen, fbc. The Cayenne is too much of a cash cow for them to get rid of it.

When I first saw the sketches for the Panamera, I thougt "Please no, that's such an ugly car"
Now that they've made it I can say that it looks even worse than I expected!

Looks ok, but will it be faster than the M5 which is probably its main rival? I don't think so...
