I hear it looks much better in person than in photos. What's your take on that statement?

I thought I read that they killed the panamera?

And $156K + markup?

I'll be damned 150k for such an atrocity! Hopefully seeing it in person proves me wrong.
Shame that I only like the key. For 150k, I'd get a GT3 loaded to the gills or better yet an RS.

The front of your dealership looks like the dealership they used in the first transformers.

The buttons up the center console are overwhelming!

I hope it does look better in person. The pictures haven't really done anything for me.

I have the odd feeling these things are going to depreciate just as quickly as a Quattroporte.

I'm guessing its Rusnack Audi right near you in Pasadena

since he is in Glendale. And looking at the old school street lamps.

A lot of the lines and curves of the vehicle can only be appreciated in person. It looks less like an over priced hatchback in person. It looks MUCH sexier, stylish, and sporty in person. Not as hot as the 911, but not as atrocious as it looks in pics.

I concur that this thing will likely depreciate faster than a brick falling from the top of the empire state building

. That's why I'd never buy one.

But the front of Rusnak doesn't look like that. Come on, I've been to that dealership enough to know.

And besides, I think he's stated he doesn't work at the Pasadena location. I think he works at:

You going next door for the launch party Tony? I'm going to swing by and get the Cayenne serviced and check it out.... hope it looks better in person! I know they have a new GT3 there somewhere too.

I'll break stride with everyone hear and say that it has grown on me a bit. It was quite a shock the first couple times I saw it though.

this thing really doesn't look that bad guys. it does kind of take away from the Porsche brand tho...first the SUV and now they are trying to hit it big with a sedan/stationwagon thing?? but really its not as bad as you guys say, but yes, not the best looking thing on the road.

I personally agree, I eyeballed one at the Niello Concours on the 5th.

Certainly, its no prom queen but it looks a lot better in person. The interior is absolutely superb.

i kinda like it, it's just that the price tag is so ridicoulus i don't know who'd buy it. it really is the second coming of the maserati quattroporte like terafon pointed out, in design, price and depreciation. i'm not a big fan of suv's so i'd rather drive one of these rather than a cayenne
