True.
I know JR is very particular about his own car's appearances, so I know it appearance means a lot to him (as it does to any car nut).
Also, as an owner of a Ferrari 328, I'd venture to say JR values appearance over performance or driving experience, at least some of the time (all 3X8 owners - myself included - fit into that category. Those are cars that get by mostly on appearance).
I've seen several panameras now, there are a couple in my parking lot every day. I don't think they look better in person, at all. In fact, I think they look better in pictures, where the size is often hidden.
Most don't like the rear end, but I think the front is just as bad. So bulky, in person I always think Karl Malden when I see that bulbous nose on the panamera.
The interior, too. In person, I found it surprisingly cheap and gimmicky looking. It's no Jaguar or 7 Series or S Class interior as far as quality of materials, and looks, that's for sure.
