Kinda looks like a bad photoshop, though I think I like it better than the sedan.

A four door convertible.
What are the structural implications of that in terms of maintaining rigidity at an acceptable weight penalty?

Ah the good old days of 4 door convertibles. Now that SUV's are no longer en vogue I would love to see Porsche bring back the 4 door convertible and make it something that everyone else copies and builds.

I didn't realize it had been so long, but according to "automotive.com" the last production 4-door convertible was the 1967 Lincoln Conti. Is that correct???
Of course that does not include the countless aftermarket conversions, like this Chrysler:

I stopped by the local Porsche/VW/Audi delership today.
Saw a Porsche Panamera in carbon gray, I'd call it a very dark bronze myself. It is better looking in real life, hides it's mass pretty well. The hunchback thing is still there, but the car is lower in real life than in photos so it does look like a Porsche. For $118,000 I think those flaws might be enough to keep this car a rare sight on the road. If you just look head on at this car it's real nice, it's the rear and roof line which is all messed up. Top down, this could be a nice car.

Just wondering...
If VW has voted to kill the Panamera after the initial run, why would they bother with a convertible version??

Yes. Totally hideous, even with the suicide doors.
But it's a convertible, so it's still cool. Just ugly. |
