Well, I meant to post this last night, but I was so busy I didn't get to it.

Fort Lauderdale, about 1100, Davie boulevard. I was in my 928, first at the light, and I watched the light change and then 10th car or so was a Panamera! I saw the shape ["what's that?], and then when recognition kicked in....I had about 3 or 4 seconds to survey it from about 100 feet.

Hmm.

Well...it is kind of like the Cayenne. It isn't ugly, but it doesn't look nice either. This car is going to sold because of the gold-plated symbol on the hood. That is the only reason, because it isn't any different in person than from the pictures.

++LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WILL NOW RENDER MY JUDGEMENT++

On this particular design: I DON'T like it.

AGAIN: This is based upon magazine pictures and one 5 second view out of my windshield. It appears strange at the rear end- there was a Mazda 626 in the late 1980's that had a hatch-back, and this car reminds me of this. Mazda has one of the worst design groups in the industry, in my opinion, and aping them isn't a good idea!

Well, it was ONE 5 second look-

N!
