Yup, saw it earlier today. I like it.

Apparently more details will be released on Sunday.

Those could be bogus. I didn't notice until I posted them.

The first pic was published in Europe on Friday and the latter ones are photos of mules that have been circulating since the summer.

Here's a link to the latest report.

Wayne, I know you have been lusting after one of these for a while. The pics don't do it for me. Maybe I'll just need to see one in person. Porsches are supposed to have only two doors (except for the Cayenne, of course).

Your comment makes no sense - why can only the Cayenne have 4 doors? That's arbitrary.

I like the photo, although, I'll admit that I've not been impressed with the photos of the interior that I've seen... too many buttons.

Phil, maybe you can take two of the doors off the Panamera and put them on your C4S. Then you'll actually be able to get IN your car to drive it! Apparently, Porsche forgot to put doors on your car.

The interior photos look very Lexus like and I wasn't impressed with what I saw there.

We'll see - won't be long now.

The car looks worse in person IMO, and yes, there are WAY too many buttons on the interior. The interior finish is nice though.
I can't get over that scabbed on looking rear end.

Yikes. I think it looks terrible. I pray Porsche never releases a car that looks like that. I don't know why they insist on using the styling of the carerra in a 4 door sedan. It makes no sense. Just build a new sedan with Porsche performance. Just my opinion.

I don't understand why Porsche is SOOOOO afraid to change their design... I completely understand the 911 with it's heritage and keeping this model basically the way is was meant and is meant to be forever!

BUT why does the Panemeameria (whatever!!) have to look like a 4 door 911?? with an hatch back?!?!

Ofcourse there will be buyers...just look at the butt ugly Cayenne (okay the Turbo and GTS look nice, but the inside is even uglier with that triangle steering wheel center)

THESE ARE ALL MY OPINIONS (so no hate mail please).... but just look at Ferrari.. pinniferinenanana (?) comes up with great new designs (and yes sometimes there is a miss..but mostly they are HITS!!)

Stop being to scarred german designers and come with a great new model....maybe a revival of the 928 GTS??? BUT than designed in this century!!!
