Default OT: MY EYES! IT BURNS!

Hey, here's a riddle: what happens when a Nissan 240sx mates with a Dodge Magnum, and the resulting offspring has obvious congenital birth defects?

The Porsche Panamera. Ye gods.

At this point...it's simply hideous. No apologies.

"Think of it as a four-door version of the 928 - a four-seater GT to bridge the gap between the hard-core 911 sports car range and the Cayenne 4x4."

I think of it as a mistake and a sorry a*s car that will continue to degrade the marquee if the real thing looks anything like that.

I just hope they've done a great job of desguising it. If not then I hope that someone at Porsche design can have the ***** to say "sorry, we f*cked up, back to the drawing board.

"four-door version of the 928" is really an insult to the 928. I'm calling it a neutered Cayenne.

Reminds me of a 280ZX 2+2 that got an EXTRA beating with the "ugly stick".

Hmmm...Perhaps when they remove all that black tape and plastic it'll look like this (one can only hope)...

That's horrible. From previous renderings and doctored up pics, I thought it was gong to be pretty good looking. Guess not.

Not very pretty. Needs a lower roofline and sexier panels - like the silver pics above. Not sure I really like it.

Na, you all got it wrong: this is the new 4-door Chrysler Crossfire.... Well, I really hope so...

Crikey, it looks like the result of late night partying between a Cayenne and an AMC Pacer. Like the mirrors though!
