    Porsche panamera
    Audi s5 sportback
    F10 front

    The side profile of he panamera is slowly growing on me. The FF is just awful from most angles. It's almost like someone twisted the Z4 plasticine, and try to twist it into a car looking thing which is still Ferrari-ish.

    Re: Ugly side profilewh

    i think becos modern car design trends took away that line/break in the middle of the car (That black plastic thing) which used to split the visuals of the side profile, allowing for a less slab-sided profile. So now, cars when looked at from the side, look bigger. I think BMW's solution was 'flame surfacing' to vary the concave/convex curvatures of the surfaces.
