Top Gear's got the Crystal ball....Porsche's four-door future...

Take a look at what's set to be one of the most controversial cars of the decade - Porsche's long-awaited Panamera.

These renderings, commissioned for the Bulgarian edition of Top Gear magazine, give us the best idea yet of what the likely 'love it or hate it' coupe-like four-door will look like.

the drawing of the rear needs to be on the red vehicle.

It's still ugly. With every CGI and camo'd photo we see it just doesn't get any better. There are too many pretty sedans that can be bought for the kind of money they are going to want for this thing.

I told them months ago to stop spending money on it and they just don't listen. I just don't understand these guys sometimes. In some ways they're the smartest engineers in the business, in others they're just absolutely stupid.

Examples:

Against Diesel
for Hybrid
Against Bugatti
For buying VW
for building this thing


They need to just build their little sports cars and be a bank for the rest of Germany.

Of course, egos often get in the way of common sense.

i'm with you on that...

best vehicle in the class to be bought is the Maserati quattoporte...you can't beat it. the CLS benz is ok, but this class bows down to the Maserati.

looks bad, i don't like it at all, looks like a dodge Magnmum , the dodge looks better, should make a newer porsche 928

Looks great! I'm relieved as the spy shots with the car still covered with camo make it look bland....these new pics show the car as being more aggressive and unmistakeably Porsche. The designers must have had a challenge of how to make a sedan appear as a Porsche. While I appreciate the Cayenne in general, the Panamera is much more edgey.

the panamera will still sell like hotcakes if it performs like a porsche.

I think it's very beautiful... in an edgy sort of way. Looks more like a wagon than a sedan, but whatever, I guess that's in vogue (look at the Rapide).

Oh and, something makes me doubt they'll put a V6 in this thing. A de-tuned V8 or high-po inline six just makes more sense as a base model.

It's hideous! I'm the biggest Porsche fan but this will not fly. Who is going to buy a hatchback for their state car?
