I posted it in the 928 section because of the obvious parallels. Also on the back of another thread in there showing photoshopped 928 / Panameras is all....
Porsche will not build that (and build it right). It would put the 911 series in second place again, and the higher-ups would not stand for that. If they do build it, they will make sure it leaves the factory slower than their beloved flat 6 cylinder hot rod beetles.
The 911 is Porsche. It is the only car in the market that continues to improve through evolution. How many other manufacturers can make that statement? 40+ years. In addition, thanks to the 911, Porsche has been able to offer other lines of vehicles to attract additional buyers to the Porsche experience. Why would anyone risk killing the golden egg? Perhaps, 911 haters? The Panamera will never be a 911 no matter what the creative designers conjure. It's too large of a car to be a sports car and in the current style a little to fugly. Any one making a statement that a 911 is a beetle, in hot rod skin, demonstrates how biased they really are towards an iconic automobile. By the way, where is the beetle?
