Bad mix of angles and curves on the rear. Front looks like a cross between a 911 and an Audi. Let's hope this "concept" has no bearing in reality.

Looks like a beautiful evolution to me. Concerned that it continues to gain visible (and perhaps physical) bulk which is not a turn on. The rear looks great to me - except for the rear wing - which I'm assuming is in a proto phase and would be integrated when completed.

Interesting article regarding 'S' and 'RS' models basically replacing the current Base and 'S' models. But, that does mean that Porsche is leaving a spot for a Base version (non-S or RS) for yet another lesser displacement vehicle. Smaller 6, or Turbo-4?

As we've seen with almost all current Porsche models, there is no 'S' model without a Base model sitting below it. The current base Panamera is the 'S', but we all know that a 6-cyl version is coming...

It's the sharp crease above the tailights - or Chistmas lights as the case may be. Looks way too Nissan for me - or like they looked at an M6 and thought, "how can we make the rear look like 10 people thought it up without consulting each other".

Just ran into this thread, but I can't see the pics in the first post(well can see only one the rest won't load). Is there a link to the originals? Thanks.

If it turns out to be like the photos, IMO, it would be hideous!

I totally agree with NorthVan's comments. It does give it that look of evolution and modernization. I think if the wing is body color, it would look really good.

I could only see one pic of the originals posted that shows the "new wing" (like the Panamera). That fold and flap thing just brings out the "ooh yuck!" in me for sure. Guess I like 'em smooth and wingless like the latest 997S or better still with (what I consider) a tasteful wing ala 997 TT. For sure there are as many opinions out there as there are Pcar enthusiasts.
