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.
I might more agree if you had said, ... in how the car makes them look as it sits in the driveway." And, I do agree that the Panamera lacks something in unique identity.

I say recall them because they are boring (never having been in one). Do we really need a 4-door sedan that blows by you at the track?
