Hey guys, I believe this is a pretty big scoop..

The new Porsche Panamera with little to no camo, out on the public roads!

I can't say that I like it though :S

Wow that thing is ugly. Fronts okay, but the side view is horrible.

hmmm.... looks like there ws another one in the lane next to it.
i wish the video was better quality. the concept drawing long ago looks much better.

Dr. WOT

great catch by somebody! looks very interesting... notice there were two in that video, including a CLS which they are using for benchmarking

the front looks SICK, the sides are a bit iffy, and the rear is ??? but ugly or beautiful I expect this to redefine the sports sedan class

Aze85

good eye. i guess the cls is the car that porsche is after

If you look at the video there is a cls right next to it going into the toll booth. I like it, i need to get a better lok at that back though

I was going to give the Panamera the benefit of a doubt, given the poor video quality and the usual forgiveness for video/photos not doing a design justice, but that CLS in the adjacent lane looked good.

I would guess the CLS is exactly the competition they're aiming at, and maybe the Maserati, at least for now. There's no competitive BMW or A-M yet. I doubt they could match the sleek lines or the fantastic interior of the CLS, so they're going to have to go for the Porsche experience and mystique to top it. And maybe performance.

Dr. WOT

Yeah, BMW is going to follow Porsche with that concept we saw a few months back. As for AM, not sure if you can call the Rapid a competitor, IIRC they were talking about a MSRP around $200k which would be well out of the range of these.

Front looks great but the rear is horrible. What's up with the nasty wing and dinky trunk? It's like Quasimodo with that hump in the back.
