    Don't ever speak ill of holy Bristol and it's patron saint St. Anthony of Crooks again.

    Walnut veneer splinters under your nails and suchlike forms of "nicely understated" torture will otherwise ensue. In case of further articles in the same vein, please report to the basement of 368-370 Kensington High Street, London W14 8NL.

    @Maxichamp: What's the latest internet equivalent for "nearly choked laughing so hard at an utterly indefensible comparison of bald-faced corporate whoring against an example of something possessing purity of essence and excellence in abundance."

    Is that still "lolz"?

    Does any US newspaper provide at-all legible automobile coverage? QOTD?

    I'm pretty sure this Troutman-Barnes 911 is the inspiration for the Panamera, if anything.

    It's even got the unfeasibly ugly proportions like the new car.

    @S_Mazza: The local dealership is right next to my office (Porsche; not Bristol). What I've noticed is that the first few times I saw The Hatchback of Notre Dame, it seemed really ugly. Now it just seems invisible. It's completely visually unexciting. Sounds good, though.

    All in all, the lipstick is helping. At least the Stingray design cues distract from the rear window hump.

    "Hump...what hump?" - apologies to Igor (played by Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein)

    Still, the Aston Martin Rapide is executed so much better. And it needs no lipstick...

    Silly. Notice the way they tried to put a GT3 look on the top of the front bumper, sad.
    Porsche is very minimalist in it's exterior styling and hanging crap off them usually fails. #topcarporschepanamerastingray

    Busy, busy, busy. Yum, now I can get Schwabian rice! I might be able to tolerate the rear diffuser and the front bumper cover, but the rest is pretty silly.

    This is a car that should be striving for understated style and athleticism. But maybe Mike Phelps will buy a six-pack for his friends. #topcarporschepanamerastingray
