Porsche Panamera: World's Ugliest 4-Door Sports Car

Porsche has made a lot of money selling its 4WD 4-door vehicles, so why not try the same trick with their flagship sports car, the 911?

Why not indeed.

After having viewed the many available photographs of this vehicle, I have finally witnessed one in the flesh at a local Porsche dealer, and I have only one word to describe it: Fugly.

While it may look all right from the angle shown immediately below, in the flesh, it just looks like someone's stretched wheelbase 911, and that is not a good look.

Starting at $74,000 with a fully tricked out model costing almost twice that, this has got to be the ugliest 4-door sports car I have ever seen and certainly ranks as the ugliest Porsche of all time. And that includes the Cayenne.

Sure, it's fast and has all kinds of fabulous technology beneath its homely sheet metal, but this dog will not hunt. If it lasts four years as a production vehicle I'll be shocked. Some may find it pleasing in the accompanying photos, but seeing it in person you realize this is one hot mess of ugly.
