Panorama is the third studio album by American new wave band The Cars, released in 1980.
The record marked a change from the upbeat pop rock and hard rock of the group's previous albums, representing a more aggressive and experimental sound. It was not as commercially successful as The Cars' previous or subsequent albums (until 1987's Door to Door). However, it did hit #5 on the Billboard 200 chart and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.
As a single off the album, the song "Touch and Go" peaked at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100.
All tracks written by Ric Ocasek.
