Too bad all that engineering was wasted on the ugliest car since the Aztec....

If you get a chance sit in one in person-I got too when I picd up the C4S and wasvery surprised-
the rear isnt all that bad, the interior was gorgeous and the center stack lay out (even with all those buttons) was much better then the Acuras its been compared too.
I was def impressed.
And its a front engine V8 Turbo sedan (4 person, sure) that can move.Fast.and then stop. Faster.

MB-BOB · 10-28-2009, 08:52 PM

But it's so UGLY!

W211 BEAST · 10-28-2009, 09:01 PM

I agree, one of the fugliest things I've ever seen on or off 4 wheels, but 3.4 seconds to 60? I'll look into one of these in a few years.

S55inPA · 10-28-2009, 09:11 PM

my local dealer has one on the floor.
interior looks great but the exterior...well lets just
say......to buy one would be like marrying a woman
for her personality

It's like comparing getting very fast BJ from ugly hooker (Panamera),
comparing getting slower one from a gorgeous one (MB_ _ _ _ _fill-in).

No.

It's like getting a mind-blowing, Jenna Jameson deepthroat complete with spit trails from a butterface, compared to a quick tip-licking and embarassing release into your own belly button from Miss USA.

Personally, I'll take the former any day. When you're behind the wheels, that's all that matters. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you get out of the car, you usually walk away from it.

tuscanraider · 10-29-2009, 10:27 AM

I don't think the Panamera is that bad....I'm a Porsche fan, so maybe I'm a bit biased....

Very descriptive

I think I will become Porsche fan also. But not yet.
I just need to be in my sixties and completely bald... or bald with pony tail... or comb over.

Then Porsche time!

No, 50% of the time you are walking toward it, not factoring in any drunken staggering through an un-lit dive bar parking lot at 2am.

RedMongoosE · 10-29-2009, 11:17 AM

one took a corner, and flew by me in the other direction going about 50, it lookes better in person moving than it does sitting in picks.

Nola · 10-29-2009, 12:33 PM

There was one parked by my house the other day and I pointed it out to my wife "hey look at that car!"... her reply: "A Saturn?"

I totally agree. They ripped off the styling of a CLS, and then completely screwed the pooch, trying to modify it.

There's beauty in ugly cars with lots and lots of power.
The Panamera is growing on me much like the car I just took delivery on today in Spartanburg SC. I love every ugly HP this thing conjures up.

Well whatever. You can also shell out the additional $50k.

Let me know how you like that motor. I'm going to miss the hell out of the S85 but.... FI V8's just plain kick ass.

Nice interior choice!! At this point I'd never drive a BMW without a red interior. It just looks perfect.

Thanks. I'll report back in a week or so. I have 3000 miles of driving ahead of me. SC to FL back to North Dakota in 5 days.

That might work depending how beat I am. I think I'm going to crash at a friends house in Hudson on Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe meet at Motorwerks BMW in Bloomington. PM me if you're interested

On the opposite spectrum, my girl saw a Mustang and asked me "Is that a Jaguar??" I guess the running mustang on the front somehow looks like a jaguar?
