Default Porsche Panamera?

OK, so now that the "official" photos have been released . . . if you want some idea of what a four-door C6 might look like, just put some round taillights on this baby. There are so many different photos on the web, just go look for yourself. From some angles the resemblance to the current Corvette is clearly evident, from others not so much.

(the link to the Jalopnik site wasn't working so I removed it - just go there!)

A few months back a parade of about a dozen Panameras with Georgia plates came through town. Strange looking cars on first glance, like a stretched Porsche, which maybe they are? My impression was that the cars somehow looked dated, if that makes any sense.

Those are not pics of the finalized Panamera.

These are the finalized version from Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-...amera/1183017/)

I guess I'm the odd man out. I kinda like it. Looks like a cross between a vette in the front and a cross fire in the rear. Still not as gorgeous as the vette of course.

no, I agree with you, I think for a four door, that looks pretty good.

Now the porsche acronym has been solidified...

It certainly isn't a pretty car by any means - but I don't think it's all THAT bad. Still, for my money, if I want a good-looking fast 4-door I'll take the Maserati.

I don't like it at all.

The four door Aston looks MUCH better. That Porsche's a monstrosity whereas the Aston almost looks like it was meant to be that way. Lamborghini's also planning a four-door that didn't look that bad either.

Yet again, Porsche comes out with a god-awful design and will spend the next 40 years trying to make it look cool!
