The Porsche Panamerica, the full sized family sedan, will have the option of being a hybrid. The world as we know it is coming to an end :(

So long as they don't piss with the 911, I could give a flying f*** what they do with anything else (Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Panamerica).

End of the world, Part Two. Although I really don't care, Ferrari is rumored to be design an SUV. Bad enough Porsche did it.....................

And Lambo did years before... They were way ahead of the curver. Any body remember the LM002?

yeah that was the real man's HUMVE. Way before US even knew what SUV's were :)

Looks alright... and it's "Panamera"

I guess for that market, they could be interesting... gives the Volvo and Saab counterparts some competition.

The LM002 was badass long before Arnold pimped his first hummer... that's how a supercar company's supposed to make an SUV.

the cayenne, despite it's performance is flawed because it looks like a Redneck 911™. And now this new one looks like a yuppie 911™. And to me, porsches should stick with the Midlife Crisis 911™ look or the Supercar 911™ look.

Heck, even the Toy Roadster 911™ look ain't bad.. but I'll always hold a place in my heart for the Air Ruf Turbo™ look and of course, the totally badass 959... porsche has never made another car to fit in that category since.

959 FTMFW.

If I can't have a 911 (well I can, I just need to decide if it's worth selling the RX-8 for), I don't want a "Porsche" at all.

Hrm, aside from the SUV, what Porsches are offered with a full autobox? (Semi auto is okay as long as the paddles for shifting are on the wheel and each side can shift up or down)

Curiosity really and to see if there's actually any chance of me driving a Porsche rather than only being a passenger (I refuse to drive an SUV)

nos.. just do it.. hard to argue with a 911 purchase

for me, i'm holding off until i can buy in the ~ USD $45k range.. the cars in the USD $32k range are apparently a bit of a crapshoot unless the buyer *REALLY* knows 911s (which i dont')
