Doesn't look bad in the picture, but that is only because the whole C-pillar and rear of the car obscured by the shadows/lighting. In full lighting, puke.

I think I have to at least drive it first before I pass judgement on it

I really like the car. Not saying I'd buy it, but if somebody gave me one, I'd definitely take it!!

I don't like the looks or the whole execution of it or it's *reason for being*. That said, I'm sure that it drives incredibly well. Just like the turbo Cayenne, another pointless car.

How about some more pictures, (side, top, Lft, Rgt, upper, lower, Frt,). I'm not sure I hate it. The a** isn't terribly unattractive, (I've been known to make a few judgments on that) but I've never been a fan of black. (Beautiful when clean, but how do you keep it clean?).

Guess I see it as a pure 'Status Car'. Just happens to handle, and go like a bat out of h**l Probably wrong, but I think Porsche will make some money on this.

Same thing has been said about 914, 924(still not much), 944, 968, and 928. Seems as though these values (are rising)? for good one's.

This may not be the loser we think it will be.

Make it bulletproof dependable, gain a rep., who knows?

How about some other colors. And interior shots?

If thats what it takes for Porsche to make a profit I'm all for it. Better than NO Porsche. I have yet to drive a Porsche that I didnt like in some respect. Although I havent driven a Cayenne I am starting to like them from what the Porsche mechanics have been telling me. Just think you could fill up your garage with a SUV a sedan and a sports car that are all Porsches. I do wonder how it will stack up against the likes of the S600.

"Panamera Turbo" I'll take one please. In red. Fugly? Yes! I'll get over it. For a four door rocket on wheels it aint bad.

Those last two arent a Panamera. They are a pipe dream from the early 90s

The more I see of it the more I like it. I was disgusted when I saw the first real photos of it but it is growing on me.

No matter how many pictures I see of that thing, I'll never like it, aesthetically. I think the Cayenne is fugly, too. But that hasn't stopped Porsche from selling a bazillion of those things here in LA.

I dunno, so far I kinda like it.




Don't even think about getting near that interior with anything close to comfortable.


Ya know, over all for a new model, and a Porsche, and a status symbol....they just might make some money on this.

Any different or current pic's of the dash and interior? Have to say the first one's on this thread were...different.

Wadda I know, I'm just one guy with a 21y/o Targa. And I sure as h**l will never be able to own one of these. My kids wouldn't surprise me though.

Thanks Tidy!! Nice Pic's!!
