2011 Porsche Panamera 4 - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine

Aft of the B-pillar the styling gets polarizing, but there's a lot of utility that comes with the hatchback design and you won't confuse your Panamera with any other cars if there's a sea of the typical German luxury sedans at the valet stand.
