Well at least the masking is obvious, so that people with questionable car knowledge don't start their "Now Porsche is copying the XC90!" rubbish.

But from these pictures we can see they have dropped the bonnet-line, giving the car as less slabby front profile.

Hope that rear light TAIL doesn't make into production.
Looks tremendously ugly.What the helll with porsche SUV.
Their cayenne is already so ugly,at this time they should make it little sleeker and loose that extra fat from the front and back as much as possible.

No doubt Q7 is definately better designed than this crap.

The red tape on the rear of the car is part of the camo. and is meant to detract in to thinking that the rear lights are going to extend all the way up to the roof. If one clearly looked at the pics before commenting, the actual tailight lens is very similar in size to the current model.

1995e34, ever heard of a 924, 944, 928 or 968? the front engine coupes of the eighties? remember at one point in the 90s porsche was scraping by on just the 911. the boxster and cayenne pushed its profits right up.

yes, i'm very familiar with all the front engined porsches. i like the 928 and 968 coupes the best. i miss them. maybe following the suv trend helped maintain profits to keep afloat. but i think a sedan would have done the same for the company, and when the suv trend flops, people will ALWAYS drive sedans

as long as hummer, jeep, gmc, and land rover aren't making sports cars, porsche should not be making suv's

jeep has the srt 8 grand cherokee and land rover has the rr sport. hummer doesn't make cars it makes boxes with wheels.
i love the 928 my mum had one, was great.
but the panamera sedan will be arriving in like a few years so it will be ok then.

I really don't think it looks that much different than the current Cayenne. It does look just like the XC90 from the back with the red tape disguise.
