4-door Porsche?
Latest Autoweek had a short spread on a rumoured 4-door Porsche "Panamera", with a pic credited to Autocar:

Another shot, also credited to Autocar, says the photo is a spec job:

Personally, I love the suicide doors on the first one - great for entry & egress with a roofline that looks to be at least as low as the CLS. If this isn't a photochop (probably is), I'd like to see other angles/interior shots.
According to Reuters:
(Porsche) "is expected to show a concept of such a car at the Frankfurt show in September, using the name Panamera which it recently registered. The name itself is a sort of in-joke: the well-known Porsche Carrera name is a taken from the Carrera Panamericana (a Latin American motor race), so Panamera is a contraction of the other half of the race title."
Note the comment about the current Cayenne Turbo engine, as well as a 500 hp version under development. Add another 100 or so and it'd get my attention.

Man... couldn't let my wife see this thing..... she'll be begging me to buy this (right now E55 wagon)..... looks a little weird but it may grow in me.... but I still love 997 a lot better.
