The styling and packaging weren't to my personal liking, although the view from dead astern is certainly business - like — especially with zero overhang, wide track, wide wheels and the twin exhausts poking out from the middle of the rear apron.
Side - on the Panamera is clumsy and again that word, awkward but from front three - quarter the car looks muscular, confident and classy... Same goes for dead - ahead or astern.
