A 4 door Porsche sporty car??? I'm not so sure.
Porsche Panamera.

Saw a write-up on one....not too sure how I feel about it.

 

[JPSmit]

I'm pretty sure I know how I feel about it, same way I feel about a Porsche SUV

I ain't sayin' nuttin'. :shocked:

The first one arrived at our local dealer today....may drop by in the next day or so & take a test drive if they allow it....500hp from the V8 in a saloon! Doesn't sound bad.

The main problem with the Panamera is that it's mud-fence ugly*. At that price point, I expect a car that looks so good that it stops traffic, not clocks.

*in the interest of full disclosure, Porsche's modern range leaves me stone cold, styling wise. The former beauty and simplicity that was a hallmark of Porsche's styling disappeared with the advent of the water cooled 911.

 

[DrEntropy]

I'm with ya, Will'm!!!

Perhaps a 911 station wagon is next. Or better yet a 911 pickup truck.

Air or water fer coolant?!?!

Engine cleverly disguised as a lump o' plastic.

Perhaps a 911 station wagon is next. Or better yet a 911 pickup truck.

I believe that both Wolfsburg and the General beat Zuffenhausen to that particular punch back in the sixties.

How many do they really think they'll sell at $91,000 - $136,000? The one it the dealership here is inside the showroom with the doors locked & those chrome stanchions with rope surrounding it.....brochures are available if you ask for one but they don't run up to each person who stops to look at it to try & make a sale.
