No mention of price. If it's anything around $80k, I'd hit it!

Love the CGT front end look!!

Looks like a Mazda 6 or something - not a huge fan. Why does Porsche feel it must dilute its brand?

diversify your product offering, capture a larger crossection of your potential market, good move for boosting profits, bad move for the exclusivity with which I have always viewed the Porsche marque IHMO


looks like a CGT + mazda 6 + CLS55...v10 would be crazy! If i was shopping an E60 M5 I'd seriously take a look at this regardless

Speaking of Mazda, its got rear suicide doors. Is that why the comment came up or just overall shape?

Im with shaun on this. All those Ballers in Dubai and other places, people will buy it. Theyve already diluted the brand offering an SUV, a luxury sedan isnt a bad idea since theyre already on that path.

I read somewhere that it would be in the $130,000 price range, making it a bit more exclusive than the CLS.

If they make a Turbo version, that will definitely be my next sedan.
