Byron, I bet that last one will be what Batman will be flying around in when the next movie comes out. "Batman Goes Green" maybe?

Is anybody going to man up and admit to thinking that thing is even remotely good looking?! If you do fess up but I can't see anything redeeming about that design.

Those are by far the most flattering photos of it, and it still leaves me dry (heaving).

I'd no more buy that than I would a Cayenne.
Both of them signify nothing more than another tickinthebox-gapinthemarketism that Porsche seem to pursue
but it looks to offer more room for both golf clubs and cufflinks that modern Porsche owners so crave....

People who have driven the Panamera rave about it. I expect it will be a damn fine car for those with the readies to buy it.

Like the Cayenne. If you can get over the image issues, it is probably the best sport SUV out there.

Thanks tchason. How anyone can say that's Steve McQueen is beyond me, unless they were born yesterday or haven't see the movie.
