I cant even believe that Porsche is going to try to sell its first sedan for that 198 k. I dont think this 4 door 911 will be around for more than 2 years. This thing is going to fall on its face

I just don't like the exterior styling of this car-- ever since I saw the spy photos.

I looks like they made a 4 door 911. Thats pretty much the best way to describe it. Porsche has made a great car and has evolved its model further than any other manfacturer has evolved a single model, so why cant they get over the same tired shape for 40 years. Even the vette has changed its lines more tha the 911 and it still looks great.

Porsche likes the 911 design theme so much that it has to apply it to its sedan as well??? Lame. I expect mre from Porsche, then again have they really shown much departure from the standard 911 lines. I guess the 914,944,928 are departures, but they are few are far between

The front looks fine, I just can't get over the rear of this car. But I like it more than M-B CLS.

This thing will depreciate badly! In 3 years used 4S and Turbo could be hit by almost 50% depreciation off its purchasing price. Base model should hang on a little bit better but still if Cayenne is any indicator its going to be great used car opportunity.

Yes, but the Porsche likely drive better than the front heavy S65, plus Porsche is even more prestigious than Mercedes (according to The Luxury Institute) ...

That's for a fully loaded turbo version, the base version starts at $89,800 ......
& the Panamera certainly deserves to outlast the Cayenne

I've owned several Porsche sports cars, but this one is not on my wish list.
