You can by a porsche nowadays because the next day , porsche will release a new model and decrease the value of your car by 50%

 

The car looks promising...

 

I like it, as it's a lot more stream-lined than the current version.

Please God, dont make them put that fugly wing, It looks like out of proportion to the car.

Other than that, I really really like it.

 

 

I pray they keep the current center console - NOT feeling the flat touch panel type deal.

 

Funny, the video on that page looks like a current-generation Panamera. I'm not seeing the lower roofline in the video that we see in the stills.

If - and this is a big if - the stills are anything like the real changes, it's a subtle but important improvement. Such a small change shouldn't matter, yet to my eye it looks much more like a proper sports car with the lower rear roof line.

I'm not terribly happy with mine, for a variety of reasons, and one of them is looks. I'd rather be driving a coupe like my wife's Cayman S. Mind, it's a lot closer than the competitors that all look like bland sedans to me, but not quite good enough. I'd like to that a revision will close the gap.

 

The rear reminds me of a shrunk down s class coupe. Not a bad thing, interested to see the unveiling. Any ideas on timing? Any guesses on power plants, GTS with NA v8 or v6, and range topping turbo s say around 600 hp

Where is th next ten 928 with two doors, did that rumor get axed?

 

Heard at the dealership that Panamera launch will be towards the end of the year.

 

That's with all luxury brands now sir...they become worth almost half the purchase price within 6 months of purchasing.

 

When was it any different?

 

I've been following this thread on vwvortex - even though the title has the wrong year now, it is a great history going back to October 2013 of the development and a collection of all spy shots:

I'll be in the market in roughly four years time, so possibly a then-refreshed 2nd-gen Panamera GTS. Even with the current-gen's questionable rear-end looks, this car is in a class of its own in my mind (Aston Martin Rapide the only true competitor?).

I agree with the comment that a Cayman has a better overall shape, but the ability to take four adults in full comfort along with the giant hatch space is fantastic.

From the spy shots the 2nd gen looks to have the proportions just about perfect. Honestly my biggest concern is the now-full-touch-looking center console. I love the current console and its buttons; looks like they're moving away from that design and more towards some of their concepts.

Looking good! Digging the side profile and ear looks improved!

 

The new one does look cool...more modern...
