This Panamera looks slightly better outside than the old one (way nicer inside) and like the old one, the wheels will make or break this vehicle.
Last gen. looked like shit until someone dropped and mounted at least 22s on them, this one will be no different...Turbo or not.
As for performance...it better be fucking fast with 550+ HP, AWD, and a $180K price tag (Turbo S)...

M6GC is a little better (than the awful looking standard car) but still a far cry off this car in terms of looks and especially interior quality an design given how much nice even the old Panamera was over just about anything.
A 4400 lb sedan with 550 hp running 7:38 on a street tire is noting short of biblical. That is as fast as a 997 GT3 or 458 Italia and better than most manufacturers best sports car and sports saloons that are not even as luxury oriented as this.
Last time I checked an m6gc started at ~120k and still doesn't perform, handle, or look as good as this nor has the refinement, tech or quality. The turbo at 150k is well worth the premium especially since the Panamera also holds value far better as the top high end luxury sedan for resale. The turbo S will only be that much further out of reach with its performance. End of the day the Panamera is a car that commands a price because of how well it's made, it's performance and its exclusivity. It's a car for those who can afford it, and it sells extremely well.
And on top of that the wagon of this car is also quite the looker too.
