beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If the panamera's looks can grow on you, pretty much anything can, if the other qualities are worth it.

turbo_banker is infamous around these parts
Yeah they are huge, though as you sit low in that small cabin of a 911 everything else on the road seems big!

Some may find them ugly, but I've received FAR more positive attention in my GT-R than in any other car I've owned. I personally feel they are extremely attractive cars.

To each his own...

They are large. That is one of the positive qualities that I've taken for granted over the last (almost) 3 years. I can SEE. It is like I'm driving a real car, but it can still outperform almost every other bobsled on the road.

I can appreciate that. I bet if I spent more time around one, I would change my opinion.

I don't like the body style but it is definitely a formidable car.

+1. If they came with a manual option I'd probably own two; one with DCT and one with 6-MT.

Technically they are awesome. Styling wise they are a bit unsual. That drive train in a Z body would be much more attractive package.
