[island911]

The people who get upset about the Panamera are generally those who put over 90% of value in how they car makes them look. Those people can't figure out the 'identity' of the Pana-beast, like they can for say, a BMW (or other cartoonish body designs out now. --Viper, Vette, RAM...) Anyway, that vanilla-identity really bothers them. Rather than caring anything about how well the car gets them from point A to point B they fixate on the value of the 'look' ...or lack there of.

For me, a car can have whatever "identity". ...I don't really care much if it's 'look' is a Pinto, Pacer, or P-car... It needs to be a good driver first. A well performing car with a plain brown wrapper has appeal to me. I suppose that's why both my 911 & Cayenne are both beige. --a degree of stealth, out on the road.
