Porsche considers a convertible version of the Panamera

When Porsche decided to do the Cayenne, naysayers said it would hurt the brand’s sports car image. Needless to say the Cayenne has been a huge success for the German automaker. Now Porsche is out once again playing with fire with the four-door Panamera which analysts say - you got it - will hurt the brand’s sports car image.

Kinda makes sense...brings in a liiitttlleee more customers.

Among the upper class, it might meet up with a little competition with a future Mercedes S-class four-door convertible or Aston Martin Rapide Volante.

The car shouldn't look too bad with the top down.

...and in spite of that the Japanese makers continue to build convertibles. At least we have Porsche to spoil us with gorgeous designs.
