looking...

interesting.

I will hold judgement until there are OFFICIAL pics. We all remember what the Cayman was supposed to look like and what it actually looks like. Same with the GT3, etc, etc, etc.

Agreed, though if this is even close, I am not impressed! If all it ends up being is a re engineered Cayenne, then I am really not impressed. Regardless, there are many that will beat each other up, to be first on the list. I think Aston Martin did a better job with their sedan.

the nose looks too pointy, exaggerating the total length. Remember everyone... this is a competitor to the CLS550, the new A7 and such... it's not supposed to be a race car.

I'd wager that this image is pretty close to the "real deal". The initial drawings and the style are consistent with what you'd expect from PAG. To me it is looking close to ALL of the new sleeker looking luxury sedans/coupes. As far as being a "re engineered" Cayenne, I'm afraid you're "correct sir" as Ed McMahon used to say... the engine, the AWD, interior "shared" parts.. I'd say it will look a lot like a Cayenne etc. on interior parts with a few refinements of course.

That does remind of the MB CLS. Those when you see them in person look a little too retro for me. There big cars too. It will be interesting when Porsche gets into the large luxo cruiser department.

What I have found is that pictures dont always dp justise to the vehicle in question. For exampe, I dont think pictures of the Cayman capture how good looking the car really is in person.

STATMAN

That is an early "artist's rendering" but here are spy shot of the real deal being tested (although it is heavily disguised). Looks kind of Japanese, Lexus-like in these pix. This was posted over on the 997 forum...

Type in "panamera" into google's image search. Lots of different stuff will come up.

Sort of reminds me of a Maserati

I like it from the a-pillar back... although the rear looks kinda like a lexus g series... the nose is too pointy.

The three sedans that I will be looking at in the future - Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT, BMW H7 or Alpina 7, and the Panamera. Not sure who the winner will be.
This pic doesn't look too bad to me though as far as styling. Immediately recognizable as a P car. The Cayenne was a big leap for them and a huge success and I think very well done, and the CTT performance-wise on and off road is unrivaled. So I can hope that the same will hold true for their first attempt at a sedan (just not the alpha release!)

i would say it looks somewhat like the old Rover 3500's. particularly from the A pillar.

Looks real good to me. I wouldn't mind it being an re-engineered Cayenne either; better than starting from scratch and ending up with a bunch of alpha issues.

Is there any info on what kind of engine, tranny and specs out yet?
