Tell us how you really feel, Edmunds! 

The testers at Edmunds take a Panamera 4S out for some testing, call it some names and then admit how good it is.

  After dissing the Panamera's looks, they put it through some in-depth testing and comment on how it is an exceptional performer, besting the 500-horsepower club. 

Edmunds says "...around town or on open stretches of freeway, the Panamera proves it can be a proper sedan as well," and the interior "...it's an environment you'd be happy to spend four days driving cross country in."

Definitely a review worth checking out, follow the link below.

This is EL34s answer to the GT-R, except it doesn't perform anywhere near as good.

A lot of haters don't like the GT-R because it's a Nissan and because it's not the best looking care, even though it performs well. A lot of those same haters will still love the Panamera though, because it's a Porsche, performs well, even though it does not look good. Gotta love those types of so-called "enthusiasts"...

You're not one of those people I'm talking about. They hate the GTR because it performs well, and love the Panamera because it performs well.

GTR still kicks butt. Don't be mad rich ppl. Just because us middle-class kicked your high-class performance vehicle doesn't mean you have to be bitchy about it...oh yeah...we beat you on price of the vehicle to. Don't live in denial.

Ugly? I think not. At least, it's not yet another ordinary 3-box sedan with gratuitous design elements. The Panamera is purpose-conceived and built, and the results are evident.

I am not a Porsche fan, but this car looks like a winner, purely from a design stand-point. It speaks "classic Porsche", is well-proportioned, and pleasing to my eyes, from every angle. Well-done Porsche! Please give the boys at BMW a call. They could use some help.

Agreed. BMW needs to re-think its entire design program from head to toe. Every model, from the lowly 1 Series with its downward-dragging profile line, to the new blocky, over-sized 7 Series (with the dullest profile of any modern car), has too many awkward elements jammed together. BMWs are terrific performers and I've owned several. But their ersatz styling has totally turned me against them. If I were in the market right now for a performance sedan, I'd get the Panamera without thinking twice.

They got it right, it's big, it's UGLY, but it's a Porsche and still performs as such.

This is why the old CEO/DeutscheDeuschBag was fired! He tried to make too many other types of cars for product and kept the 911 rear wheel drive instead of going to a proper mid engine, then making a cayman S a proper mid engine and almost costing as much as a 911 even though its cheaper to build then a Boxster! Got to love Zee Germans Value= more profits = less customers!!

Just saw the Panamera at Neiman Marcus today and it is far from ugly IMO. I hated it in pictures and thought it was ugly, but seeing one in person makes all the difference. I think its beautiful, perhaps not as much as the Aston Rapide, but the Panamera is not ugly. Don't trust photographs, just take a look at your high school yearbook and you'll understand the camera doesn't do justice at times. lol. Besides, it's also a performer. I might actually consider this as my next car once i'm done paying off my grad school tuition

I finally saw the Panamera at my local Porsche dealer and it is huge, but it's not ugly. No 2 dimensional picture or video captures this car well. It' certainly not beautiful like the Rapide, but at least you won't bang your head getting into the rear seat like you will on a Rapide or any of those other coupe-like sedans. The interior of the Panamera IS gorgeous and the seats are remarkable. Go see for yourself.

I also just saw one in person. It's low wide and stunning, it really looks as if it's on another level compared to a 7 series Or s class

@pennfootball: Do you know how many GT-Rs really blew gearboxes and WHY they did? Of course you don't. You are a big mouth with no facts to back it it. Get your head out of your butt.
