The Panamera is an affront to Porsche enthusiasts like us (as was the Cayenne and, to a lessser extent, the Cayman) and indicates that there is no real design talent in-house. The 911 simply gets nips and tucks year after year, with none of the surgery beating the 993 model. But we do salute the latest generation Boxster that personifies the pinnacle of design for a mid-engined roadster and is a genuine improvement over its predecessor. As for the 5 series GT. Well, um, pass us the sickness bag please... Shame the poll doesn’t have an option to vote for both!
