Love everything but the rear profile, it looks awkward. It looks like it'll have presence on the road though
True, but the CTS-V is still the fastest 4 door sedan, unless the Panamera ran it in the last couple of weeks and it's not listed yet.

German magazine Sportauto reports the news, which Porsche has yet to confirm. The hot lap was made by Walter Röhrl in a Panamera Turbo loaded with the optional Sport Chrono Package.
The vehicle is powered by a 4.8-liter turbocharged V8 that makes 500 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, helping it sprint to 60 mph in 4 seconds and top out at 188 mph — not bad for a sedan that weighs in at 4,344 pounds. The Panamera Turbo starts at $132,600 (as opposed to the $58,575 price of the CTS-V) and will officially debut in North America next month at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
This news comes after the video showing the Nissan GT-R one-upping its personal best Nordschleife lap with a time of 7 minutes, 26 seconds — still a few tenths shy of the Corvette ZR1's run on the Ring.
Nürburgring: 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo Unofficially Takes Crown as Fastest Sedan

I think it looks good, not as nice as the Aston Rapide, but striking.
