Motor Trend has an article claming to show actual photos of the Panamera: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ook/index.html

One figure amazed me... its almost 7 inches longer than the Cayenne !

Panamera 4S




Panamera Turbo

I just doesn't seem right to build a four door Porsche.

I have ignored the Panamera story for as long as possible. Are there plans to make a coupe? If so, it could be the rear end that the Cayman would want to have.

I kinda like it. It's a different kind of structure that's not the same as every other Porsche.

roman944

it just doesn't look right

they just took a 911, extended it and made it 4drs

it should be completely new vehicle

FAIL

GloriaRedStang

disagree. Looks like a chop-roofed, lowered Cayenne.

Ugh...
If you thought a front engined watercooled Porsche was bad...

FRporscheman

What a disgrace. At least we could dismiss the Cayenne as being "not even a car". Even George Carlin couldn't put together enough cuss words to express my feelings towards this turd.

It looks like a C6 corvette in the front and a bloated cayman from the rear.

The panamera should inspire a new generation of FAIL images.

Put me down as a vote for Fugly.

Carrera GT

Unintended irony is the sweetest.

Uh...no. I can see how you can say that they pull a lot of styling and design elements from the 997 series, but saying that they just "took a 911 and made it four doors" is pretty stupid.

I think porsche is becoming more and more like other car companies like bmw and mercedes, vw etc.

Intstead of just building pure sports cars now they're building rich soccer mom status symbols.

I don't like it but whatever.

It's a business and they want to increase their sales. Fact is there are a lot of people who can afford a porsche but have families etc and instead buy other status symbols like a Benz or BMW now they can buy a 4 door porsche to drive their kids to school in.

I'm sure the panamera is a great performance car and it's also not bad looking, not what I'd want but you can't say it's an ugly car, it's just not what a porsche should be.

I think porsches are not the same as they used to be anymore. After the end of the 993 and the new 996 porsches just keep on looking more like cheap mass produced status cars.

the carrera GT is the only good thing to have come out lately.


and why does everything look like a 911????

in the 80s the 928, 944, 911 all looked different. now everything is just a morphed 911.

can't wait till the new porsche minivan comes out. twin turbo v8 minivan with 600hp and 4 wheel drive. the new porschavan.

and what's with all these new gay names? Cayenne? cayman, panerama?

they should have stuck to numbers.

993 was the last great Porsche. Period.

roman944

in a way I think it would be smarter for them to have an off-brand that was priced cheaper to compete with Japanese companies - kind of what 914/944 were in the 80's

I don't see why they are doing the SUV thing and this Sedan thing; they have been making great sports cars, so keep on doing that, make them more competitive, make models that are cheaper and can compete with imports

ofcourse by now a Porsche is a status symbol, so people will buy it just for the name (just like Rolex, Panerai, Ferrari etc.), and Porsche has made a good name for itself, so these things will sell easy

I don't think it's a good idea; they should let VW/Audi make SUV's and sedans, and keep working on sports cars

in a way they are doing things that the American Domestic manufacturers were, instead of bettering what's already good, creating projects that they don't need at all

Yummybud924

that's what I meant (well except the new carrera GT is pretty impressive).

the 993 turbo is my dream car.
