AUTO SPIES EXCLUSIVE: Two years left for the M5 and E55 before the party is over?

Dear 001,

During my recent trip to Germany I stopped into one of the Porsche dealers and one of the Porsche reps was there making his regular visit.

As I was browsing near the manager's office I overheard the rep say that the 4-door M5 killer is now definitely a go!

He mentioned that it would be in dealers in LESS than two years!

He kept describing it using the term 'the Carrera GT sedan'...

Sounds delicious to me!

Just like you scooped the world on the CLS, you're doing it again!

Signing off,

The Dan from UNCLE

I hope Porsche will not build a four door sedan -not because it can't be a good vehicle, but because I don't want Porsche to be on the front page of every magazine, every month between now and the launch date. Hell all Porsche has to do to get great press is to add cupholders, or add a spoiler and the media treat the updated car as a brand new vehicle. Please save us from such absurdity - please.

The Cayenne IS kind of ugly but I test drove the Turbo and there is nothing even remotely comparable to it in the truck world. A sedan would definitely sell, especially if it is attractive.
