I`d take the rapide over the panamera without hesitating a millisecond 
of course only,if money was no object
it`s just unbelievably beautiful,elegant and all parts of the car fit together in a flow,other than the panamera which has certain sections that stick out and interrupts the flow when your eyes are going from the front to the rear...

This two Panamera (slightly camouflaged) arrived in Dubai a week ago - testing is still going on ?? Any way , the car in front looks really sharp and somewhat different than the 2nd. one . Is it for slightly different angle - or something else ?? To me , the pic. of front Panamera is the best rear 3/4 and overall "3D" impression , so far .

U are right..mmmm ?
It's looks like there is a long-wheel base Panamera which loses the proportions 2nd, the one that we have seen all the time....and short-wheel base very sharp and sporty 1st one.

or may be they are doing a smaller version right a way to offer soon, like in the Cayenne....

i am sure i am not the only one to think this BUT, it may be "so so" in the pictures but i am willing to bet when we see it in person it will rock. porsche has worked too long on this project for it to be a "let down". just my thought.

Mine thoughts too !! ( 3 more pics. for analyzing / comparing ) To me , it looks as the front Pam. has 5th door and glass (in particular) more flat / sharp

I hate to say it, but based on those pictures/illustrations, I would pick the Rapide as the far better looking of the two. Dynamically - who knows? I would have to drive them to make a judgement, and I am guessing that the Rapide will be 2-3 times the cost of the Panamera.
