What's next a mini-van?

They are really diluting the brand:

Porsche may develop a Panamera wagon: Autoweek TV - Autoweek

The "brand" needs to sell 200,000 units per the VW Group global goal of becoming #1 in total sales. Not sure you can sell that many of anything without "diluting" a brand.

Looking at this, along with the "reliability" of Volkswagen and Audi electrical systems, I no longer wish to have a newer Porsche. Sad.

Shouldn't be much of a redesign; they got it pretty close the first time.

Spot on, the rear end looks like a wagon that the builders got tired of finishing

Porsche Westfalia Camper Van. That would be the hot ticket.

As long as they still make cars that are as awesome as the new 991 and Cayman, I don't give a rats ass what else they are making...

I saw a panamera in the flesh again this weekend, they are really growing on me. Stunning car in person...

I saw a Panamera in the flesh last week, and it is really growing on me... like a fungus.
