The buttons are not "sprayed around." They make perfect sense. And they provide quick and easy access to frequently used functions. And you don't need the manuals to operate the PCM. It just makes sense.
Panamera, the best "Swiss Army Knife" amoung other makers who have fell into "cookie cutter" molds of Sports Sedans.

my dad just bought 1 turbo s in red with 20 inch black rims! it really attracts alot of attention on the road, i dont understand why people are saying that it is ugly
I can't believe you think this is ugly!? This is a gorgeous piece of machinery! It's very different from anything else in the industry, other than an even sexier Audi A7.
absolutely right. I had a Panamera Turbo for a week not long ago.. wasnt a Turbo S like this one, but there isnt.. much difference really. I got it thought it was ugly.. looked obscure and weird. But it is amazing to drive. You feel like you captaining a spaceship driving this thing.. its massive, and i love it. It seriously pulls attention to. I was sold and would look at buying one in a couple of years time when the price is more reasonable.
This reviewer has bad taste if he thinks this car is ugly. It grabs my attention like crazy every time I see it. It makes Camaros disappear when it pulls up. This car has a big presence even while parked
Wu Wei Xu it looks better imo. I heard about it before the hit the market and just knew it was going to be ugly, but it was beautiful. I've never been a big 911 fan. I know it performs but I'm tall and feel cramped in the Porsche. I fit better in a c6 corvette.
Wouldn't those electric wings break if it was covered with snow in the winter? (or when it rained and drop to freezing temperature) Looks wicked cool though!
crazy price, Great trick getting real 911 feel in a big car. Oh was that a '68 Cougar in your garage? I had a XR-7 back in Highschool, wish I still had that car.
no, you just can't recognize a nice car when you see one. If you knew much about porsche, you would be able to recognize the true beauty of this car, and how uniquely designed it is
Don't complain about the price in the states, here in Sweden this beast equipped with the nessesery stuff such as ceramic breaks sport crono package etc costs with todays prices of currency ~ 315 000$. In Norway our neighbour country the prices are even more rediciolous. 500 000$+ with ease!
mistake number one-going on cnet for car reviews. Don't get me wrong I love the panamera. And being a porsche there is no need to say that everything is made with unbelievable attention to detail. But with that performance in mind most people looking at a panamera would be far more interested into what it can do. I've had the opportunity to test 2 fast porsches. Everybody knows what a 911 is so there is no point in saying its awesome. But the cayenne turbo with all that weight blew my mind
@Pierules123 Jeremy Clarkson and his sidekicks are entitled to their opinions, I have personally seen and sat in this car and I love it but I have to admit that the design is very colour and wheel choice dependent like the BMWs of today. Porsche is the most profitable automaker for a reason, everything they do is well thought out.
@TheGarvito The panamera turbo and turbo s are made for more than just going fast in a straight line. the panamera is so much more than just a big, comfy gt touring car. it is inspiring to drive and a family oriented luxury vehicle. Don't get me wrong..the GTR is an amazing machine and that itself is an understatement! however the gtr is in no way a comfortable car especially with 4 passengers.T again maybe I'm biased because we own a panamera turbo.
@hhusainify I know, my family doesnt have a Panamera but we used to have a Cayenne (first generation) so I have some first hand experience of Porsches. Believe me, they are fast.
that's a german car!! beautiful design, good processing, and good motors! i like it, to be proud of being a german guy! And everybody who think we are all nazis ... shut up and go away!
I don't get that thing when he says that the engine is a twin turbo V8 and then says it has direct injection as well, cannot it only be either one and not both? Or isn't naturally aspirated same thing as direct injection?
xBuzz996 A naturally aspirated engine does not use turbo chargers to increase air intake. A direct injection engine sprays fuel directly into the combustion chamber allowing for a more precise combination of air/spark/fuel and better MPG and HP. The two have nothing to do with each other.
The turbos add more air to the cylinder and the direct fuel injection adds fuel directly into the cylinder. You can have an engine with a turbo charger and without direct injection, without a turbo and with direct injection, or both (as in this case). The turbo is air the direct injection is fuel.
The benefits of direct injection are that it allows for higher pressure and more precise flow of fuel into the engine's combustion chamber. This in turn allows for better fuel management software tuning, better MPG and slightly more HP. Add this to the increased oxygen/air that a turbo charger can provide and you get more HP from a smaller displacement engine. In this case you have a 4.8 liter twin turbo V8 engine producing 550HP. Compare that to the non-turbo (called naturally aspirated) 5.2 liter V12 engine producing 455HP found in an 1989 Lamborghini Countach. Porsche Panamera 18/28 MPG Lamborghini Countach 6/10 MPG
How can you anyone hate to look at this masterpiece ... It has an indescribable beauty .. I just dont understand how people think its ugly ?!?!!?!!
I saw the panamera in person this morning, I can't describe how I felt - mesmerized, blown away by its beauty. It's my dream car!
10 years later, did you get one yet?
No he's a nerd@@catmobile20
@@catmobile20lol I’m thinking of getting one even though I’m on a new Macan S 2023

God I would buy this car just to play with the buttons. So many buttons to try out, endless fun.
The panamara in any color is GORGEOUS!!!!
love this car. love the look
This car grew on me...it definitely is sick in the right color!
I think its very good looking. Great for a guy with a wife and two kids.
Exactly funny but point taken.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's not a cookie cutter sedan. I like it.
Some of us have more than one friend to cruise with.

drjd2real Think of it this way, does it look better than any other Porsche?

This car is sublime and is very attractive in person. It is very well done inside and out. The only ugly thing about this video is the guy commenting.
i love this car i actually love all the Porsche models. specially the Panamera.
The Panamera is absolutely gorgeous! One of the best looking 4-doors at any price.
If you want f-ugly, check out Lexus, Infiniti or Cadillac.
Sam Smith LOL, you're joking right
Karun Chendrimada yeah i hope he's being sarcastic
Stop it, this is one of the ugliest cars known to man.
Stop it, this is one of the ugliest cars known to man.
Infiniti and Cadillac? Ugly? No
I like it, and would buy it. I think its attractive.
Also, your presentation is very good, though I disagree with your harsh description.
Cooley b4 Cooley on cars, always a pleasure my friend
VERY ATTRACTIVE CAR PERIOD!!!!
I think it looks just fine.
what have you been smoking?the panamera is a beauty!!!
Conventional windscreen wipers on a Porsche Panamera Turbo S? In 2012? No flat blade wipers? Please explain me why.
That car is soooooo sick!!
whats the back legroom like? great car in my opinion!
I really wonder how some people can call a PANAMERA ugly.
Wouldn't those electric wings break if it was covered with snow in the winter? (or when it rained and drop to freezing temperature) Looks wicked cool though!
This is one DAMN sexy car. I love the side profile.
crazy price, Great trick getting real 911 feel in a big car. Oh was that a '68 Cougar in your garage? I had a XR-7 back in Highschool, wish I still had that car.
this car isn't ugly! In real life, they look amazing. A few of my neighbors own this car in white and gray
I don't understand why so many people say this car looks ugly.
It looks really great imo.
Belíssimo carro!! Muito show!!!
It's a nice looking car it's the girl with glasses that nobody thinks is hit until she takes off the glasses
nice cougar in the garage, yours?
I love the looks of this car.
always great reviews from Brian; this one is just as good. He keeps it informative, yet real world. good stuff. he's got really sexy doctor hands too.
bro i love you ... finally someone who said something smart
How much is a quattroporte? is it in the same price range?
Although I do not want, would I like to ride on a mountain path?
no, you just can't recognize a nice car when you see one. If you knew much about porsche, you would be able to recognize the true beauty of this car, and how uniquely designed it is
10 years
This guy calling anything unattractive is rich
ok ic :) i just love the panamera,it my dream car :)
think Cooley would be a helluva stand up comedian..and everybody would love the content..
What is different between Porsche ... S and 4s ?
There is only one sedan that can compete. Quattroporte GTS, but still I love this Panamera.
i agree; standing next to a car changing your perspective so much
doppelkupplungsgetriebe ?
Brian Cooley does the best reviews!
Porsche is Porsche. Its like lambo/ferrari unbeatable luxury and class.
What is the name of music???
@MrLalasd you think it's ugly,i think it's beautiful!!!
Its so bootiful
im gonna buy this car as soon i have the financial possibilities
No ceramics?
the matchbox edition? :D
I don't understand how you're telling people this car is ugly like you're stating a fact. In my opinion this car is gorgeous.
Stating his opinion as if its a fact is just Brian's style. It's part of what people love him for.

My base Panamera has carbon gray metallic paint, with a beige interior and it looks sick at night when the lights come on when you unlock it
@evans4you Which incidentally is the best one.
Pls name 1st song ... thanks.
Song name please !!
I think its a great looking car and everyone calling it ugly wouldn't complain if somebody gave it to them
wheres the handbrake?
nice looking from the front but i just can't get behind the back, which i always thought it looks like a beetle.
It looks awesome...
...weird...I thoght it looked like an absolute pig the first time I saw it...now I really like It!
It took me a few years but now I want one!
Can someone please tell me what is the song/track that starts at 0:19 ??
Bravo!!!
I can't believe people are actually saying this thing isn't ugly. Such people do not deserve to own a pair of eyes.

The most advanced sedan today.
Nothing even close
and the Porsche name and tradition behind.
what else would you ask?
finally a smart man on here
@evans4you I think it also looks Badass
99% of the people who purchase this car are wealthy.
+Vegan Rains Why would you get a car to get girls?
Yeah, if I ever see these on the road I immediately think about how the driver is probably some old millionaire.
@hhusainify I know, my family doesnt have a Panamera but we used to have a Cayenne (first generation) so I have some first hand experience of Porsches. Believe me, they are fast.
@TheGarvito Can't get a GTR and carry 3 other passengers plus cargo though.

The car is not pretentious at all. It is quite low key and understated, unlike a Rolls or a Bentley.
