Not picking an argument (I'm happy to be wrong) but what makes you think this?

It's probably correct. But that doesn't change any narrative. This is what an extensive facelift does after all.

It's hardly ever (I can't recall of any off the top of my head) where body panels are changed as part of a facelift.

It's hardly ever a company changes from an ICE line-up to a BEV line-up.

And changing bodypanels is absolutely not rare. Every single facelift gets new bumpers, which essentially is changing a body panel.
Not to mention different character lines in doors, newly shaped boots, lights, etc. I mean, when a light is changed the body panel around it is too.

E65/66, W220, W221, W210, W211,W212,W213, E92/93, B9 (A4), G10/11… etc etc

Oh i Dont like this at all, the letter box in the front, the square design on a car that is in its essence round , the straight cut simple rear lights and worst of all the 3rd quarter window , they squared it off..

The gen 2 pre fl panamera is where it’s at, a tremendous design, and hard to beat even for porsche

Porsche Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch débuts in Shanghai


The third generation of the Panamera is presented in a unique form. Alongside this completely redeveloped model, Porsche is unveiling a specially created one-off car in Shanghai. The Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch shows the attention to detail with which Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur implements the Sonderwunsch programme

Ok, here's what I think I've picked up:

Front wings (fenders) are different to prev gen (only on the trailing edge).
Rear bootlid below light bar is different.
Other than that, same bonnet, same roof, same pillars, same doors, same rear fenders, same rocker panels.

And changing bodypanels is absolutely not rare. Every single facelift gets new bumpers, which essentially is changing a body panel.
Not to mention different character lines in doors, newly shaped boots, lights, etc. I mean, when a light is changed the body panel around it is too.

Ok, if you say so.

E65/66

Let's just start with this. One of the most extensive car facelifts ever. And yet, the only sheetmetal that changed was the front edge of the bonnet (hood).

Fussy front-end like a GR86.

Front and rear end are both new, with a redesigned C Pillar, but the doors (and presumably the roof) are all unchanged.

It’s a bit meh and a yawn fest. Typical modern day Porsche.

 

[Mii]

Several reviews mentioned the same, other than door panels, every single exterior body panel has been refreshed and interesting touch on the c-pillar kink. Would expect very similar specs on wheelbase length, tracks, length and width, hopefully not adding more weight!

Decent refresh design and refinement, except the center console shift lever relocation.

This is a disappointment, its just another evolution of previous 2 models. Even the interior is not that much different except for the passenger screen. Really boring Porsche, you could have done so much better.

Why would they? This segment is dying. This is about as extensive facelift as you can get without making a totally new car.

The dual tone is brutally good, the top color makes that sharp front pop

 

[klier]

Ok if you say so.

OK!
