No camo, doesn't even seem like they were making an effort to disguise the car at all...

Has Porsche shown any undisguised Panameras to dealers yet?

Sorry, I have to strongly disagree. Saw this ugly pos drive by the house several times and it looked like crap.

They have not released it to us yet but I have seen a few driving around. Take the salesperson in me out if the equation I really do like the looks (and sound is amazing) of the car. Many aspects of the car are still hidden from the pictures. They will be releasing official pictures in November is I am correct.

Maybe it will look better in person

The front end looks like the 1st gen Cayenne and the rear end looks like a last gen 928. Two door hatchbacks are a hard sell in the USA much less 4dr hatchbacks (if you remember some of the 80's GM products or the Saab). I'd buy an AMG CLS 63 before this.

Better get in line to get your piece of Porsche history because in four years these will be discountinued due to poor sales.

I won't comment on how it looks now, but I would say that if Porsche has invested so much time/money into this project they would be stupid to make it ugly. This car has been under camo longer than any recent production Porsche! Let's hope the camo guy did a really good job at hiding it.

These 11 porsches are parked in the back of the underground parking lot here at a hotel in San Francisco (in an empty corner). There’s a bunch of engineers around a couple of them with laptops. You never see cars before they are out in NY. I googled the Panamera and I got a site where some guy saw them around San Francisco. German guy supposedly doesn't speak english. I'm calling bull - his laptop was labeled "laptop" unless german/english are the same.
