928 re-Birth?

Sorry if this is a re-post.

There will be nothing like our beautiful cars, but this is a view into the direction Porsche is going.

I like it.

I like it too, but it doesn't strike me as "it looks fast" like every other porsche I've ever seen. Maybe if they make it a slightly smaller two door with less head room in the back...

Look more like a familial. Not sure if I like the look.

I never got to the portion of the web special to actually SEE the car... I know I did NOT like the look of the last spy photo I saw! SUCKED! Hope it got better...

Don't like it. To me it doesn't resemble the concept drawing. Maybe I missed something.

Can someone just post a pic? It's not worth them spamming me so I can see it (again).

if they made a 2dr version of the panamera...it might end up canabilizing the 911...much the original plans of the 928...hmmm wait a minute.

I spent a 7 day holiday at the Nurburgring in July, which gave me plenty of chances to observe the Panamera in testing. There were 2 cars being driven around the track, one with 2 twin-tips exhaust and one with just 2 exhaust, one auto and one manual. The cars were camouflaged, but I could make the body contours easily, and I have to say they were not pretty. Sort of a Cayenne meets a 911...

Nothing 928-esque about them except a V8 roar and smoking at high revs. Yes, you read this right - both cars smoked when chucked into high speed right-hand corners.

I had high hopes for the model, but I think I would be looking for a CLS AMG or an M6...

Me too. I got tired of waiting for a photo to appear. What did I do wrong? I just closed the page and will wait until one appears on the road.

+1 After all that blah blah blah they ask you to sign in so they can send the info. Guess I'll have to wait a day or two for the pictures to get posted all over the internet.
