It is looks like the first pic I will buy one. If it resembles any of the others it is an ass stain.
Word is that the cars out on the street right now are still pretty heavily camouflaged and that the actual car is pretty stunning. Official unveiling is next month so we'll see. Personally, with the Rapide on the horizon and the Quattroporte getting better with age, I really can't see Porsche releasing anything looking like the test mules. They know the Panamera won't sell on brand and name alone.

Well lets hope. My first impression is that Porsche blew this one. IMO they tried to make the thing look like a 911. that simply does not work for a 4 door car. It doesn't work on the Cayenne, and it doesn't work on a Panamera. I am an unapologetic Porsche whore. I have owned 2 911's to date and cannot imagine that there will be a time when i do not have one. The wife is set to get a Cayenne when her current SUV is retired. I had/have really high hopes for the Panamera, and if what you say is true then I eagerly await. If what we have seen from the test mules is the shape of the car and the lines it will represent particularly from the B pillar to the read bumper then I am really disappointed.

I got a letter from Porsche regarding some Panamera preview a few months back but haven't heard anything since...I should try to find it again.

The artist sketch looked good but these pics look horrid! If you're gonna do 4 doors you might as well add a trunk for aesthetic reasons if nothing else.

that thing is sick.. So I'm assuming that his and the new lambo sedans are going to be the fastest sedans on the road.

Did anyone else receive the letter in the mail (surface mail) inviting you to "become a part of a select group with unprecedented access to the Porsche Panamera as it makes the final turn from concept to reality."? It lists a website which introduces the Panamera in a series of steps. It is pretty slick but so far it doesn't have much info.
