Vs Poll (exterior looks only): A7 vs Panamera

[klier]

This should be interesting...what car do you guys like best, based on exterior looks only?

A7:

 

[PanterroR]

Panamera by a mile!

 

[Tumbo]

Everything looks so good when you see them this way:

But what happens next, is a total disaster in automotive design. I am puking all over these both. I can't vote, cause I will never every in my life had a car that looks like this.

So, I will not vote here. Both are horrible!!!

 

[Merc1]

Tough poll because neither one of them are particularly easy on the eye. The Porsche is just dowright goofy looking whereas the Audi is merely "safe" looking. Don't know.

Atleast the Porsche is true to its heritage of making everything look like a 911
thats something more than what the audi is

So panamera gets my point

I don't get you poeple sometimes.
First you complain, that to many Audis look alike eachother. Then when Audi goes a new direction, with it's front for example, then you complain again. C'mon.

^ This direction is wrong..

R8 and A5 was right.. this is wrong..

I give credit where its due..

When you take away the 'CONCEPT' details from the A7, you're left with something very average looking. At least the grill is great!

I'd chose the Porsche. I find it oddly appealing. Sexy in fact.

 

[Monster]

The Panamera should have had the A7's profile.

I don't really like either of them. The new grill on the A7 made the car looked like it is opening its mouth. The side view is quite boring, and the rear end styling is very un-Audi like. The Panamera's styling is too soft and rounded. The side profile looks odd, and the rear end looked excessively fat.

Overall I picked the A7 because of its sharper styling.

It's a bit unfair poll coz the A7 is in concept glory looks but i voted for it anyway i just can't stand the Panamera,at least till i see IRL.

The A7 and Panamera are in different segments. Panamera is one or two steps higher, compared with the Estoque and rapide.

How I see it, both also are coming from different directions - Porsche is begining with a sports car and turning it to a sport saloon, while Audi is begining with a sedan and making it sleeker and sportier. This is IMO evedent in the design, and as I think we'll see, also in the handeling. Different approach to the same idea.

Well the Panamera is gonna be available with V6 petrol and diesel so it's pretty much in A7 territory

 

[Centurion]

Panamera for me. That Sportback is a concept, the production version of it will look as interesting as a loaf of bread glued to a milk carton.

 

[VroomVroom]

I cant stand the Porsche

The A7's shape and face look much sleeker

 

[m-power]

Porsche's design is more "supercar" and more exclusive, thus gets my vote

 

[Mockenrue]

The A7 Concept looks superb in my opinion, although I'll admit to having had reservations about the styling of the rear of the car. However, the more I refer back to pictures of the original 100 Coupé S I can see where they're coming from and this element of the design is growing on me and beginning to make sense. I think it'll be a tremendous success when it goes into production.

Whilst the overall styling retains some of the more obvious and established Audi design cues, there's clearly an evolution going on here with a sharper, fresher look beginning to emerge.

In contrast the Panamera looks, to me, like a 911 trying to fight its way out of a 'Bubbles DeVere' fat suit. I love Porsches but I'm struggling to like this one.

A7

Where is the "I rather stab my self in the face" option.

I exaggerate, A7 has potential, not just in it's current form with disproportionately large wheels and over done grill and headlights. Even Panamera has it's good angles, as long as the JLo backside stays hidden. Having said that, VW CC is far better looking than either.

 

[NarutoRamen]

Panamera is FUGLY. It's as the old saying goes, Panamera is one of those cars who's face only a mother could love. And in this case, Porsche designers and Fanboys.
