I don't know but I hope this isn't the Panamera..I was thinking of the Van Halen song.

Nice brakes btw. Too bad it looks like a big long Lexus sedan instead of Maserati Quatroporte.

It is the Panamera. Porsche 4-door coupe. Classic european Fast-Back body design.

the Grand Marquis at the end of the row has a nicer looking butt

Personally, I had high hopes for the Panamera. Front end looks dcent... but it's seriously downhill from there. Not only is it's posterior too bulbous but the cockpit is way over 'buttoned'. I saw a picture w/ the headrest monitors that looked nothing short of add-ons from the JCWhitney catalog... IMNSHO, looks like the 911 mated w/ AMC Pacer

Da Pacer was da Bomb! And now the're colletors items. Do you think a Panemera will be a collectors items.... or just an over-priced 4 door.

Much fuglier than I anticipated.

I mean no disrespect to Porsche, I love my Boxster but to me it appears they are carrying too many design cues through every model. The taillights would be one example of this. I think Porsche should have made this model a complete departure in style. Beyond the wrapper I wonder how it performs in driveability against it's competition?

Upon first glance I find it to be extremely unappealing in the looks department. Although, I thought that about the BMW X6 also. I have driven an X6 both the 6 and 8, it definitely makes up for the less than pleasing looks with the neck snapping acceleration and comfort.

I can only guess the Panamera has the TT V-8 boosted from the Cayenne Turbo?
