Porsche Panamera

At a quick glance, I thought this looked like a 4-door version of the XF. Where the rubber meets the road, it's 400hp+.

It's a squished Cayenne.

Re: Porsche Panamera

I think they tried a bit too hard to make it look like a 911. I'm all for family resemblances in auto lineups, but this is kinda nutty. I have to see one in the flesh before I pass complete judgement, but the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide looks a million times better.

I hate to tell you guys, but it will be dropped in the next few years.

Yes, I've read where the new management team will let it run through the first cycle just to recoup development costs and then let it die. Same could happen with the Cayenne as they want to bring Porsche back to a pure sports car company.

I'm sure this thing will drive brilliantly, but until I see one live and in person I have to hold off on any definitive styling comments.
