At least the color is good.
Tell me again why I'd buy this over a Nogaro Blue Audi S4 Avant?

With a high HP and high torque quattro, it should be driven to always TRY to make it come loose. This will make it much less prone to understeer. I am on my 3rd S4 quattro and have driven them on the track and also autocross. I am no expert, but YMMV.

from automotive news
We're getting a taste of the Porsche Panamera as anticipation builds toward its live reveal at next year's Geneva motor show. On Monday morning, Porsche released a shot of the front end of the car peaking out of a building, showing the Panamera from the wheels forward--and it looks like a Porsche! The headlights and fascia are similar to other models, and the sleek sedan looks to be crafted in the same vein as the rest of Porsche's lineup. While we don't see much of the Panamera, Porsche has shamelessly put four of its cars in the center of this "reveal." We've already seen sketches and spy shots of the Panamera. Expect power to come from gasoline, diesel and hybrid configurations. The Panamera is to launch in late summer or early fall of 2009. A targa version also is likely. Porsche is launching a Web site, www. Porsche.com/panamera, to hype the car's debut, show video of camouflaged prototypes on test drives and feature other updates.

When Porsche stops trying to make every car look like the 911 maybe i'll actually like one of the new ones. Until then, I think i'll stick to the old front engine, RWD.

Wow, that's great. Porsche found a place for all those left over 996 "sliding egg" lights.

Not that I'm a big fan of this car but... Porsche SUV is selling mighty well.
 Cayman, on the other hand looks nice.

perhaps the crap residuals will smell like flowers?if the final design is more along these lines (thanks xxx) then i would eat that hot cake ! especially if my bike fit in it... but i dunno about the 120k price rumors  \ also - i am a little bit, no wait... a lot a bit skeptical of a rear engine in that long of a wheel base - just make zero sense to me? yippie wow.. woooaaaaaaaaaa

Here's a Evo Mag spy shot from August of this year. Two years has improved its looks, slightly. But the proposed V10 will make up for it. It is better looking than the Cayenne, I'll give it that (most things are). Porsche hopes to sell 20,000 units annually. And they probably will, at the expense of the Cayenne.
