Porsche will carve a huge piece out of top end Mercedes and BMWs. Merc and BMW had been rather un-obedient recently, stepping into almost every segment, killing their way into Ferrari's door step, Pajero's front door, even a small suzuki had a BMW rival. With Panamera, I'm pretty sure these German luxury marques will have a good shake themselves. :) Good luck Ferdinand Piech.

They are also the only sports car maker with more money than traditional mass manufacturers thanks to sales of the 911 family of cars. anyone who looks at a 911, regardless of the year it was built in can recognise it immediately.

Some kind of KEDAI POTONG made feel, Cut the front and end and extended in the middle. I like the concept but not the looks, its weird at Side view. Too much weight put at the back side. BIG A** sedan. :P Maybe the NEXT step is make the Fastest LIMO on earth from Porsche. YA....HOO.....maybe using new V12 engine with 1000HP. Paul, do you know the Weight of this Sedan?

Looks like some Monster Garage project, but then again, you really can't expect Porche to come up with something nice; Porches has been made in the same old shape as long as I can remember. The designers will do well to take a page or two out from Mazda's RX-8, now that's beautiful. Can anyone say fugly?
