Its not supposed to. They designed it as a sport sedan. I think they could have put more thought in the rear end then just slapping a 911 rear on imo.

ya, I just can't get used to it. I used to think the old 911's were hideous though so maybe it will grow on me

Sondra said it did NOT handle like a huge 4 door car.

Those are classics though man. You can't compare that with the panamera.

i wonder if the panerama will be an ugly classic, known as my family car that can beat your sports car around the ring

Possibly but if I'm going to drop that coin. There are plenty other options where you get best of both worlds i.e. m3 sedan *cough* doctor *cough*

Meh, does it matter? Those are the guys that are buying a vehicle to make up for their short comings. An enthusiast is totally different no?

an enthusiast will know that straight line power is only 10% of the equation

as far as the panerama goes, I guess If you HAVE to get something with four doors, and speed is your next top priority. looks like the cts-v or panorama will pretty much win that
