The 928 was a very smooth design. Not many right angles or sharp lines. No vents in the front fenders. (gaawd i hate that on todays cars)

I like it though...nicest look so far.
i ran it through PS for a look Id prefer...subtle but, front facia not as busy, shorter tail lights...longer rear quarter glass...no lines on the side of the car or vents behind the front arches.
That's great, but do more. Remove the crease that runs along the bottom between the front & back wheels, and remove the diagonal trim at the rear. I think they are alluding to an S2 spoiler here, but it's not working.

This is first version of Panamera coupe which looks ok. Hopefully Porsche ends up building something like it and not previous versions shown on earlier articles.

I used to like this show, but seriously, the show is all about tommy and some other racer buddy of his driving around a circuit. How many people drive their cars on circuits, they never go through like features of the cars (which i would like to see on camera) and every shot is an in car shot of tommy or someone else as they banter.

This show is getting closer to supercars exposed on the "dont bother to watch" list

Saw it. It was a blatant 30 min ad for the Panamera. What a let down.

Saw full commercial and a partial back to back on DVR of the Porsche Cup series off of SPEED. Good shots of the 928, especially w/all the other exclusive cars used in the ad.

+1. The "Test Drive" episodes are all the same. This <insert car name> is the best, coolest thing since sliced bread. Blah, blah, blah...

The part with the Design Executive from Coke was a joke.

Porsche is really pushing this thing. I saw a few minutes of this too.... then turned back to Matlock.

Marketing may be affective as I've heard a couple P-car friends recently change their tune on the looks of this beast.

Watched a little of it. The Panamera still looks like crap. The show sucked, they never mentioned the 928 at all. Cause the 928's looks blow the Panamera away. If Porsche was trading strait across, I'ed keep my "SHARK".

Default MORE 928 EXPOSURE WITH PANAMERA PREMIERE...

Certainly not the magnitude of being in a Porsche commercial, but I had fun @ our local Panamera gtg with SHARKY as one of the twelve historic models on display last PM.

LINK TO PANAMERA NIGHT @ BOARDWALK PORSCHE

I also enjoyed watching ALL the videos and commercials that were displayed the entire evening!

What history!
Now, about that Panamera sound system... Yeowza!!
Tough to choose whether to listen to the engine or the music!

Unfortunately, I don't have to make that decision. . .

Fun times with great Porsche folks!

If you do not mind me asking, where did you buy that poster from?

Porsche sends them in the mail, free to potential customers.

I guess I don't look like a potential customer to them, but I bet you can pick one up for free at your local dealership too... heck I need to go down there anyway...
