Hi
I only like the engine(V8TT).
It will be another beast.

Its almost as ugly as the new E. I'd go for a Cayenne Turbo over this myself.

The back shot, really put in into perspective. The big a$$ rear end, and the "station wagon" look. That just killed any excitement for me.

lo0ol

it looks the same type as BMW 5-series GT

That rear 3/4 view is awkward. I like the front end and styling cues along the sides, though.



The console is too busy, but I like the dash, seats and door panels.

Overall it's not as attractive as the super sedan offerings from BMW, Audi and MB. The Cayenne is much more attractive.

Doesn't do anything for me. Looks like someone took my 911 and stretched it -- badly.

Wow ... pretty rare for Porsche to screw up a design like this.

How did it go from this



To this???



What a disappointment.

One good thing ... Now I'm really glad I got the CLS

It's fukking hideous.

WTF is going on these days? I guess I have to design my own car now, if I don't want to wind up with some tacky japanese looking thing.

I think porsche is overdoing it by trying to stretch out the 911 look on everything they make. I feel they failed on this one because that one ugly car. I'm sure it'll drive amazing and the interior is not so bad but the exterior is hideous anyway you look at it.

They would have been better off just making it into an Estate...as it is and like everyone is saying the rear end is just plain awkward.

Has Porsche ever made a good looking car? I have owned over twenty and never thought they were good looking. Age old argument, form follows function and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
See, like the Smart car, the early Porsches were used as golf carts.

baldmike73

looks like something that was made on discovery channel.

I think its pretty HOT..... just dont like the rear, looks like hatchback....
other than rear, the car looks sporty and Porscha... And ofcourse the performance should be good V8TT......

CWW

That's the really tragic part, it doesn't just look like a hatchback, it IS a hatchback

CharlyE500

Good point.....

For some strange reason I look at it and think to myself...reminds me of the RX7 look for some reason. Shares some similar lines. Dont like them much and this doesnt look as promising as the concept drawings for this car was...oh well. Another car ruined by design.

JustPete

First thing struck me was the back/side profile looks like someone chopped a Dodge Magnum into a hatchback.

acb

I think it looks like a 928's **** (but fatter), Cayenne torso, and 911 face. mutant baby!

Interesting....I saw a test mule running around LA a fw months back. I really didn't think much of it or I would have turned around and snapped a few photos. I thought to myself, "huh, I guess it's getting ready to launch soon, otherwise why would it be rolling around LA?"
Anyway....it looked horrible in real life and it looks like an abortion in these photos. YUCK.

russjr

in addition to that ungainly looking rear, it has an appalling amount of cheap plastic parts inside. also, porsche has always been very exuberant in their performance claims. i've not found mine to at all meet my expectations.

acb

they are quoting 0-100 in 3.8 for the turbo

Can Drive 55

Maybe 100 KPH, not MPH.

acb

yeah KPH (we did away with the silly imperial system decades ago

Wish4_e55Wagon

That Panamera looks pretty good after seeing this version of the CLS (TLS) Wagon
