OT: any early interest in the Panamera if it happens?
my wife's A8L is our first larger sedan and I actually enjoy it for family runs...should have held out for the S but this will do for now....the Panamera turbo sounds like an interesting prospect for a grocery hauler....I put my name down for one just incase it happens and turns out good (also did it for the possible 998 RSR street version on pure speculation)

Yes, it will happen. The Panamera will follow the same badging/option levels as recent Porsches (Cayman and Cayenne).
You can put down a deposit, but I fail to see the point, as the Panamera will not be limited production; if you want one, you'll be able to configure/order it.
No, zero interest in any Panamera.

My "interest" is limited to how/if they will pull this off. Since it's near-demise in the late 80's Porsche ran off an impressive string of hits including the wildly profitable Cayenne.
Then the Great Coxster Misunderstanding. Now...another super-sedan in a crowded field. We'll see. I don't think Porsche is invulnerable to mis-steps.
With the political pressures that are building on many sides, I think we are headed for another performance ice-age real soon in the same vein as the late 60's early 70's that will however be much deeper and may indeed permanently alter auto manufacturing. Hang on to the power-toys you like because there will be fewer and fewer in the future. There will be some built, no doubt. But this is the Golden Age of high performance.
Launching a large gas-guzzler may not be good strategic thinking.

We'll see how it is powered (V10?), how it is driven (AWD?), where it is priced (<US$130k?), how it looks (not like the mule!) and how all that compares to its competition. This segment is no slam dunk for Porsche, but I'm prepared to trade out of my Audi RS6 (still the best sedan I've ever owned or considered).
