I think that is it. Edmunds have some good pics too. Some site had a sharp red one. Are you thinking about one? the 2010 cayenne is rumored to have some similarities to it?

For some reason it reminded of Mitsubishi 3000GT.

It was rumored this past Fall that Parade 2008 (Charlotte) would have one on display. I've now been told that this will not happen.

maybe !

I can see again our true Porsche purists going for Prozac bottle, after seeing the 993 video posted by Rome I understand why... but for me it will all depend on the final model, and hopefully reliability will be better than the initial Cayenne models...

correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me that the demand for 4 Dr Porsche models is not going away anytime soon, nice thing is one can always have a 911 for the real driving experience which there is no equal substitute.

I think this photo has been on the net for close to a year, and like mudman said, it's too disguised, so it's really difficult to say what it really will look like.

I guess my question is that will it be a closer to a true sedan or a cross between a sedan and SUV?

It's ugly, trust me, when you see the final vehicle, you'll agree.

OK, I assume you have a good idea of the initial model so I guess we'll have to wait, for me Cayenne has been both practical and fun to drive with the family, and when the time comes to replace it, it would be nice to have a second option IF Panamera is an option.
thanks,
Sam

it looks like a pimped out dodge magnum. why did porsche have to try so hard to make it look like the engine is in the back? it looks constipated. disguise or not, the basic shape is there and it is UGLY.
