That "wagon" version was the better looking one. Oh well. Taycan "wagon" is awesome too.

[@crimsonkaiju7085]

Something about the front end of this new Panamera reminds me of the R35 GTR, and I think is has to do with the way the grille is separated with two side intakes with lights and then the thin upper and larger lower center grille. But overall I agree Porsche did a pretty good job and I'm very happy to see the split wing return as well.

[@joaorodrigues-dy9rm]

The rear kind of looks like a taycan, and the interior is almost full taycan. Its not a bad looking car, and in the flesh it will look even better, like porsches always do. Shame that the new one lost the single analog dial for the rpm, i drove a turbo model, and honestly, looking at that really well made and beautiful analogue gauge with turbo written on it, was very special. The digital ones just dont cur it for me. Loosing the "hand rest" gear lever is not that great either, it felt commanding to drive with the arm on top of that. Well, thats pretty much it, its very fast, very advanced, the best interior quality of any car and for sure a great success.

[@MrMklasse]

Not sure if it's the color, but at first glance the headlight shape made the car looks like the 2002-2008 Nissan 350Z.. at least to me. I prefer the last gen Panamera for sure, looks sleeker.. the new panamera headlights are a little too large IMO.

They’re still very restrained. They’re just making some rather… questionable design decisions now

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

I think it just shows that the design trend at Porsche that started around 2015 with the Macan and 718 continues. The Panamera is its newest "victim". Less curves, less smooth surfaces, way more sharp angles. That's why the currrent Porsche models don't look "sensual". They look like machines, while Porsches until around 2015 looked organic.

[@TitaniumDR1]

I don't know what they're thinking man. Look at the side profile comparison shot at 6:15. The new hood looks scrunched up and backwards like the car hit a wall. The base of the windshield is higher and more truck like. It looks like a squashed cayenne. It absolutely sucks honestly. May as well bring back the hippo ass. I absolutely love the panamera and think it's one of the best cars in the world. I'm super disappointed with the new styling. That's a no-go.

[@essel23fly]

They finally made the Panamera look good. The old model doesn't know what it wants to be, it's like a 911 mixed in a weird rounded sedan body. This looks more focused, aggressive and less rounded and not bloated like the older panameras. Hard to believe, I would actually buy a Panamera now.

[@blairbrown4812]

[@davidowen2859]

As a Gen2 owner really thought your analysis is spot on. For some reason this next Gen exterior doesn't quiet hang together for me. My wife instantly said it looks higher and not as sporty. The inside is a real out and out fail for me. Gen2 is like sitting in a gentleman's club. Gen3 is a plastic looking Taycan interior. And that horrible lady shave gear changer on the dashboard is awful. They put the only thing i can't stand on my 992GTS on the Panamera! The GT steering wheel on the Gen2 is a solid thick rimmed quality piece of kit and brushed chrome finished. Gen 3 has the cheap plastic bit of rubbish off the Taycan again. Not good. I have two friends who also have Gen2 who like me have been waiting for this and like me not sure where to go yet. There's always Bentley but I'm not ready to become an old fart and give up on driving yet.

[@creato938]

My first reaction to it was "It looks like a Kia", it's a very static and weird redesign.

[@f38stingray]

Almost exactly what I was thinking. The squarer, more upright grill and headlight designs strangely remind me of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Now I'm hoping the new Panamera brings the price of the 971 generation way down - especially the wagons!

[@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree]

Kia actually taking risk to improve their design which has reflected positively in their sales.

[@peacewarlord]

This somehow looks a slightly less like a Porsche. I think you are right, is more static, it lost it's dynamic and sportiness. Looks like more matured family car rather than fun sport car for whole family.

[@kamalberrada]

The front looks great but damn the rear is just off compared to the old one, what you said about it is spot on but I won’t even say it’s a good design it just feels too much like a downgrade from the rear

[@bludika]

yea...the rear is so boring man, it's just a straight line design instead of any shape to it like the previous one where the middle was thin and the left and right side were bigger, but now it's just the same size all across

[@kamalberrada]

This new trend of making everything flat and boxy is not good, looks like cars from the 80’s which was not the best decade for car design

But I don’t know where they’re headed in the future in terms of design because it’s going to get boring, but it’s still a Porsche, and they will sell so I get it. I totally get it.
