#LAAutoShow: Agent 001 Snaps REAL-LIFE Pics Of The All-New Porsche Panamera And Panamera Executive — Thoughts?

One of the funniest things to see was the launch of the first-gen Porsche Panamera. Although the company had successfully launched a sport-utility vehicle, there still was a ripple effect of disdain when the company said a sedan was on the way.

And then we got our first look at it. Well, let's just say it wasn't the most attractive vehicle right off the bat.

This is where it got funny. While many lined up and attacked it for its outward appearance, boy, did that change once folks got behind the wheel. Somehow, someway, people started seeing the beauty of a Porsche four door. That's because it drove...awesome!

Now in its second generation, Porsche has upped its styling game. It's much more slick and a smoother design. Frankly, I think it has a bit of Model S to it. That's a good thing.

At the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show (LAAS), Porsche rolled out its long wheelbase variants. We're a bit surprised Porsche decided to give the LWB models another shot. They weren't rolling out of showrooms too fast with the first-gen Panamera.
