seems that it will be more aerodynamic in reverse than forward, like the 928 was!

Definitely not as bad as the spy shots indicated, but baby's got back... Kinda bulbous back there and seems to spoil the overall look. As said above, will withhold judgment until I see it in the flesh.

those pics are real. I saw the car in person.

For the member questioning the interior, it is fantastic but a 4 seater for sure.

I just can't for the life of me understand why they chose to design a 4 door sedan that looks like that.

Not bad from the front... terrible from the back, though.

Interesting. Really need to see it in person.

I'm a fan of the Quattroporte - wonder how they compare.

I really wanted to hate this thing based on all the test mules, etc. I find myself loving it from the front, 3/4 front and 3/4 rear view. Not sure about the side and straight rear view, but it certainly has me interested. I am sure it will drive great. It should since they have been testing it since the freaking 964 was in production or so it seems. I'll definitely take a look when it arrives at showrooms. I just hope pricing is sane because I have a very low tolerance for pain on a sedan that the wife would be the primary driver.

Dan, wish you were right but top end of the market is getting hit quite hard as well right now.
