I see what you (the OP) are saying, I always thought the hatchless look like in your photoshop pic would be cool. very reminiscent of the triumph TR-7 (which I always liked), but the problem is that it only looks good in that exact side profile!

Tervuren has it right - the whole car was designed as is, around the hatch concept.

It just wouldn't look right any other way.

But I do like the wagon in the above post...

Makes the Panamera look even worse. If that is possible,

Jeff

Hmm... seems I'm the only one who also likes the panamera? It has grown on me, drove one last year and I was convinced.

I would rather get kicked in the nads than drive one of those 944s! Keep them the way they were made. I could only see someone with a mullet and a Def Leppard t-shirt driving one of those.

I didn't say I don't "like" it, they were pretty nice at the dealership, and I'd rather go around town in one of those than a generic wagon

well i was looking at this thinking the grey car in the original post was the same color as my son's - then i was thinking hey they have the same basketball pole and mailbox and driveway as me - then it dawned on me that it was actually a picture of my son's car that i posted on here when we first finished it - no problem though - kind of proud the OP would use that picture as i've seen a lot of cars on here much prettier - add me to the crowd who thinks it looks better with the hatch

hahaha yeahh i forgot to mention where i got the picture. frankly, i cant remember where i found it, google i think =p
what a great color!
im not saying i dont like the hatch. but i DO like the cans styling. more or less this would be a cab, without the cab function.
