 First Drive:   With room for four adults and a rear hatch for easy access to its roomy cargo area, the 2010 Porsche Panamera "brings four-door sedan practicality to a brand known almost exclusively for high-performance sports cars," says Senior Editor, Paul Williams.

That brown colour looks terrible in the photos, but the black one looks staggeringly good. And it sounds like Porsche simply crammed a 911 into a four-door hatchback body, instead of building a compromised sedan.  The 7-series, S-class, and S8 have got nothing on the Porsche. The Quattroporte, maybe... |

I was always fearful that this would look horrific but I actually don't mind the exterior at all.
I'm sure everything else has been taken care of. |

The Rapide is stunning, too. I presume it will be a little cushier and less sporting than the Porsche, so to each their own. Of course, if it ever comes to fruition, I think the Lamborghini Estoque would be my choice:   |

In some photos, from some angles, it just looks.... wrong. But I have seen it in a couple videos and it seems to look terrific to me in motion. I'll have to reserve judgment until I see one in the fleh. This may be one of those vehicles that just isn't very photogenic. But the interior looks fantastic.

I didn't like the back end of the car when the first pictures leaked out but it grew on me I guess. I don't think the design is beautiful but it wouldn't stop me from purchasing one (in my dreams  ). From the reviews I've read, the Panamera is a wonderful car to drive and it looks much better in person. |
