Default Panamera

We're starting to see a bit more of the Panamera now...I did some quickie PS work to change it to a few other colors (see the 911 Forum).

It just looks like a Pininfarina job on the 456 (except the Ferrari always looked great). One more,--an older Aston Martin.

Bernie (my Boss and Dealer Principal) said that IS the car. However it looks MUCH better in person, the rear is gorgeous and the interior is fantastic.

We'll see when she get's here.

Wow, I think it looks nice. Much better than in the early pics. Now, if that thing ever comes out as a two-door hardtop cabriolet... I might consider.

It looks like a 997 4-door sedan. Oh wait, that's what it's supposed to look like.
I'm guessing that I'll like it IRL but would never buy one.

Yeah, and I'm still waiting for a cab version of the Targa!

Or maybe: SQUASHED CAYENNE

The car would look better with a plunging front end, but I guess that is not possible due to the ridiculous EU pedestrian safety regs. I expect future 911s will suffer from that soon.

Here's a rear end shot. I would definitely order it with the advertising deleted on the rear,--there is way too much.

Looks like a pregnant 997.

It's ugly, but it's not the total embarrassment we've been led to expect from the spy shots.

Ugly. I can't believe that Porsche is actually going to sell an ugly front engine 4-door sedan. It looks like there is very little trunk space, since they shaped the back end to look similar to a 911. I would say that Porsche is making a big mistake but that's what I said when the Cayenne first came out and I was wrong then; the Cayenne has been very successful. I guess they do what they have to do to make money.
