In The Works: 2008 Porsche Panamera

Wow that's a lot of camo.

The c-pillar is totally fake. The real windows will follow the flow of the roof.
The b-pillar has been pushed forward of the driver: super fake.
Profile of both doors: fake.
Body cladding with "groove": mega fake.
It looks like they tried to disguise it as a G35.

They need to do something with the front end. Flatten out the headligts. Those little humps look like a 12 yo in a training bra. Too Cayanish. Or intigrate them like the old Miura.

SUV now this? Porsche needs to rethink itself......AND VW while they are at it.

Just picture you your girl or 3 of your boys on a twisty stretch of highway in a Panamera turbo! Ahhhhhh! I remember when i revolted against the creation of the Cayannne, notice the extra n for Nasty!

For whatever reason, I'm not feelin' it.

Why would they need to rethink anything? The Cayenne was just an influx of cash they desperately needed, and got, thanks to SUV-drivers that want to play make-believe sportscar drivers. This will let Porsche grab a piece of market from the BMW/Merc/Audi/Caddy market for high-power executive 'family' cars. And I think they'd take a huge market, much like the Boxster dominates it's segment over the Z3, etc...

I like it! I am a 4 door kinda guy though.

Not for me. I prefer my sedans to look like sedans, such as an Audi A8 or Merc S class.

This P-chop looks the closest to the "official" sketch Porsche released:

Yep any of the above get the :thumbup: I forgot about those last 2 photoshops based on the sketch. They're friggin' hot (only thing I'd change is the stupid ass Cayman/Beetle type driving lights...they gotta go).

Wow....now that is interesting.

there is a very odd convergence in Ferrari's and Porsche's new designs. Maybe they're just reaching the same conclusions in regards to Aero-D :shrug:

The wheelbase seems uber-long because the car is so squat.

How'd they deduce that the M5 is a test mule? Just because it has ugly fender flares and a Recaro w/ the elephant ears?

dont know how i feel about this one

makes so much better sense than the Cayenne.
Can't wait to see official pics, though Porsche is very good at keeping these things under wraps.
