I just can't get my head round the Rapide being a stretched DB9, whereas the Panamera is its own thing. Ugly, yes, but its own thing.
I agree that AML styling has been very generic and it seems that finally they are doing
something about it ('Scuse the cross-posting!).
But remove the comparison, forget the usual Porker competence and view the Panamera in its own right - nuff said?
Cheers
