    Default Spotted- Porsche Panamera

    I was heading to go get some dinner and saw a UFO turn at an intersection up the street and had to go inspect. To my surprise, I found this....and it's HUGE (and kinda boring looking).

    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.

    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 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.
