Porsche Panamera: Ugly, With No Alibi.

Deputy Editor

Look, I know I’ve written a lot of less than charitable things about the styling of modern Porsches in this blog, but the truth is, I’ve actually started to come around. I don’t know what happened, but now I no longer find new 911s boring or ugly. And just as I start not reflexively hating everything Stuttgart touches, they go and drop the Panamera. What exactly inspired that back end? A rendering of Rosie O’Donnell in a thong? I know it’s capable and everything, but I just hate, hate, hate this car. Am I totally high? More pics after the jump.

If Porsche really wanted to think outside the box they wouldn’t have built a 4-door 911. If your friends jump off a bridge……

“A rendering of Rosie O’Donnell in a thong?” Really John? That’s scaring on so many different levels.

i have to agree with this poster i love the new 911 but this is just insane the back end looks more like a crossover suv not a car they really should have spent more time in the r&d stage with the back other than that it’s okay i can understand trying to target the 4 door market but come on do you really buy a porsche and say hey i can fit four people in my car no you say hey look how fast it can go and if you want a four door porsche buy the porsche cayenne i mean come on if you cant make it look better than that it just won’t do well but thats just my opinion.

I dont think these are ugly, the first time one passed me on the autobahn I was thinking like “damn, what was that” Lucky for me it wasnt going full speed and I have some power in my ride so I was able to get close enough to get a closer look.
