I only see one blank, which isn't bad considering there are 61 buttons!

I like the keyfob, interior is poop. That's the biggest, busiest console I've ever seen.

The steering wheel looks huge too.

Console looks abnormally large.

Maybe there is just something weird about the lens and/or the camera angles.

Last two photos of the outside/front of the car... they don't even look like the same vehicle!

That's the first exterior picture I have seen that doesn't look completely horrible, but I agree that the console and giant steering wheel leave a lot to be desired. iDrive might not be perfect but the interior of a BMW at least looks neat and clutter-free. This is like a cross between an 18 wheeler and the space shuttle.

Still a little early, but it's looking cool so far.

I don't think performance is enough for the Panamera. It being a sedan (plus its price point) dictate a bunch of cool gadgets. The console looks like there will be quite a few.

Wow, that actually looks interesting. Attractive would be stretching it for me, but I'm pleased with what I see. Not my cup of tea, but I was expecting much worse. However, that center console is beyond awful. I'm in agreeance with amateurhour; Porsche you essentially own Audi now, please use MMI and get rid of that "nuclear power plant from the 80s style" design for the center console.

Interior not impressive, but the exterior is sleek and nice.

I remember when my mother bought her Saab 9000 in 1986, she could never figure out how to programme the radio. Changing the graphic equaliser so it would stop blinking and bouncing along to the music was another impossibility. There were so many buttons and flashing lights in that car, it felt like a spaceship.

But I think Porsche handily outdid the Saab in complexity of buttons. I thought this is what the iDrive/MMI/Comand type interfaces were supposed to solve, but apparently Porsche has a different philosophy! I wonder how many accidents this is going to cause...

that is a ridiculous looking center console..the driver can barely get his legs in because the center console is so large. Very disappointing, looks antiquated.

So many buttons and looks very unimaginative. Lexus LS also has quite a few buttons but they are very nicely styled/placed and the overall shape is very tower like. Porsche should have gone either LS route or like Germans should have made some type of knob. And those jumbo AC vents. Hideous.

First the exterior and now the interior, disspointment all around.

Wow, that is truly nasty. So do you need a pilot's license to fly - I mean, drive - that thing?? Look's like the cockpit of a 747.

Can someone please buy or merge with Porsche?? I know the rationale for the company is that it has to produce more cars/models in order to remain competitive. But at this point, I'd rather have someone buy them or merge with them and keep them as a low-volume sports car producing subsidiary, just like Ford did with Aston, Fiat does with Ferrari, and VW/Audi does with Lamborghini and Bugatti. This way, they can end the continued dilution of the brand.

All those buttons!
I fear for the person who mistakenly hits the driver & passengers "eject" button instead of the missile launcher and gun turret.

The 911 styling does NOT lend itself on a stretched sedan AT ALL - I hope they are hidding their true intent on styling, otherwise, file under Pontiac Aztek.

The Aston Rapide will eat this Panamera alive should they keep this horrendous styling.
