Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera Stripped

i hate to say but from all the spy shots ive seen there is a good chance this might be one ugly sedan....

very ugly sedan

Looks like a four-door 944, no? Hopefully better performance, though...

Who would have thought that the last generation Pontiac Gran Prix would have influenced the c-pillar of Porsche's first ever sedan?


Just check out that 'upsweep' on the aft part of the rear side windows.

Both grotesque and ill-proportioned. Congratulation Porsche.

Still hoping this gets scrapped in favor of a new 928.

Cayman headlights with turbo bumpers.Nothing special.Same usual Porsche family face.

I think it won't be near as good looking and sexy as the upcoming Rapide and CLS

JUGNU

The Rapide will cost almost three times as much. The cars are not competitors.

i doubt the rapide will be that much more, and the porsche will undoubtedly be compared to the rapide, to high end brands, with 4 door coupes(as marketing department calls them) and high powered. as will the cls, to this porsche. and on a side note, porsche interiors are fine for sports cars, but i wonder how this sedan will look on the inside porsches have always had a bland, and sometimes cheap, non luxurious feel

Panamera will be under $100K for the base model. The Rapide will be Aston Martin's flagship vehicle. I'm fairly certain they will both be referred to as "sedans" under the same vein as the Maserati Quattroporte.

I want to like this Porsche but I can't.

I want this car.

Porsche #1

I want to like it, too... I hope Porsche didn't mess this one up.

Maybe it's BMW X6 syndrome.

In any event, though, I'd much rather have a Quattroporte. That is this car's closest competition.

I knew the hatchback was a bad idea. People might buy an ugly suv but not an ugly sedan. Especially with so many good looking ones around.
