Jorge Ortega's 2010 Porsche Panamera 4dr HB S review
There are some things that automakers do that simply don't make sense to me. Take Ferrari laptops for instance (Yes, I'm serious). The Panamera is another example of an automaker exploring a realm where it simply doesn't belong. Porsche obviously didn't learn anything from the Cayenne, which looks like a 911 reversed into a concrete wall. My love for the Stuttgart automaker knows no bounds and the 911 can keep its same design for 100 more years and I would still love it. However, there is something that the Cayenne or now, the Austin Maxi...sorry...the Panamera, simply don't have. They are not 911s. They are cars which are incapable of growing on you. Can you really say that the Panamera is a nice car? Nicer than the Maserati Quatroporte? Which is the car Porsche is aiming to compete with? I'm beginning to think Porsche designers just look at existing cars and try to see how could they make it look like a 911 and then just move that resulting abomination into production. Please Porsche, you are the world's only affordable supercar maker, don't ruin it.

Drop the model completely. Cut your losses Porsche. Big disappointment.

Josh P's 2010 Porsche Panamera 4dr HB S review
Outside of the box, yet true to the Porsche legacy. An all wheel drive wagon that can do 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds? Only Porsche could pull off such a feat. This is may be my new favorite car. Classy, functional, fast, sexy and rare.
The exterior stays inline with the classic Porsche profile, but the interior takes a step up from the traditionally bland cockpit. My hat goes off to Porsche on this one...well done.
Improvement Suggestions
I only know what I've seen and read, and Porsche seems to be keeping any significant criticism to a minimum.
