I kinda liked the Lambo SUV -visually- but I thought the Cayenne was a true crime against humanity.

The Cayenne didn't bother me as much as the Panamera.

They build these autrocities and people buy them, not sure which of those is worse.

I agree that the Panamera has the edge on being an ugly design (vs Cayenne).  The old Lambo SUV always struck me as a weird atrocity developed in a hurry to try to compete for military contracts replacing Jeeps. The Hummer won that battle.  It is a weird-but-cool vehicle (there is Countach V12 inside).
