Default Anti-Porsche or Not?

Hello all,

Porsche has released complete photos of the new Panamera - the 4-door grand touring car.

What does everyone think?

as with 997s and Caymans, I can't afford one, so anything negative I say would probably just be due to jealousy

Butt-ugly, just like the Cayenne. And, even though I can't afford one, I'm not jealous. Now, a GT3, droooooool......

The pictures don't look so great, but oddly when I saw a video of the car in motion I liked it better. I am going to reserve final judgment until I see one or better yet drive one.

I think it looks very unique. Sort of shark- or skate-like. Unfortunately, most of their potential buyers have lost half of their wealth over the last 90 days, so they'll sell very, very, very few of them.

It's time to roll out the 944 successor (the cousin to the aborted Audi R4).
