When you say the front end is a little different....why would it be a lot different?

The 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Cayenne all have similar front ends.

As do all BMWs, Mercedes Benz, and Audi cars. The cars have to look similar so people know instantly who makes the car. They go through a "design language phase" which lasts a couple of years. Most all European brands do this.

Why would Porsche want you looking at a Panamera and not be instantly able to recognize who makes it?

the first pic compare to the panamera. looks closely alike minus one is a 4door. and with the panamera being a 4 door the back end is more rounded. the front is almost identical with the exception that panamera looks to have projectors.

edit, so in a way, its being designed off the older 911's with a newer front end.

The Panamera has more relation to a 928 than a 911. A Porsche 911 makes it obvious the engine is in the back and is styled accordingly.

The main styling piece that has drawn criticism on the Panamera has been the line starting from the B pillar and moving back. That line doesn't mock a 911 in any way.

porche is gonna keep their styling with their cars. its what makes their cars so recognizable. same with most auto makers.
the front end of the 2 cars are almost identical. there are just minor touches that set the 2 apart from each other. the headlight design is different along with the hood. its just the minor details.

I don't see how the two front ends are almost identical.



I think there are Audi R8 and TT levels of differences.

the front bumpers are similar with the plastic shit in one, i don't know what its called. i couldn't find a pic of the panamera front like that, only the side angle of the front so it made it seem like the both cars had round headlights which is why i said it looked like it had projectors. and the already stated hood is diff.

it seems its taken the basic porche concept designs of their cars and mixed it with other european automaker to come up with the design of this car. i read somewhere the car was originally designed off the 928 with the older 911 styling.
