Up Front
If I could give the 2010 Porsche Panamera more than five stars, I would. Yes, I know it looks ungainly, and its four doors and up-front engine are big departures from Porsche tradition. But, much as I love traditional Porsche sports cars, the Panamera should be evaluated by different standards. It's primarily a luxury sedan, designed to compete with models such as the BMW (BMW:GR) 750i, Volkswagen's (VOW:GR) Audi A8, Daimler's (DAI) Mercedes S550, and the Maserati Quattroporte. Seen in that light, it's a great car.
