I'm not in the market for $50K+ automobiles (or even $20K + automobiles), but I really like the Panamera.
First, it doesn't look like the other generic jellybean 4-door luxomobiles. Who needs another 7 series BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes? Porsches have always been different cars from the mainstream (Cayenne excepted) - it's why I've always liked them, and I'm glad they chose to be different with this one too.
Second, I really like the quasi-wagon / hatch concept. It makes the car almost like an SUV for practicality.
And Last, I suspect the side view profile enables a low car while maintaining decent headroom in the 2nd row seats.
If they managed to keep the weight to around 3500lbs (no idea what it is - anyone know?), it should be quite a different car from the 4000lb competition!
I look forward to seeing one in the flesh.
