A shame really. Not sure about design cues from the Crossfire.... more like the Talbot Sunbeam. just as with the Chris Bangle’s terrible designs – which I got used to, but never liked – so it will be with the Panamera.

Not that much can be done about it as it is an integral part of the body, not some separate trunk/tail section as in BMW's case. They were able to soften the edginess, and it became widely emulated. Otherwise, this car looks pretty perfect for the high-end set looking for 4 seat luxury and speed with all the latest Porsche tricks. Right in time for a recovering global economy.
