Front, side, and front quarter look alright, but the back is just too bulgy....got too much junk in the trunk.

The back still isn't quite right, imo...

Look at the high-resolution versions.  The back still has significant camoflauge, and even the line of the rear door has been disguised.  I'm trying to mentally undress it (hardy-har-har) and the results are much nicer.

I also like that it appears to be a five-door hatch instead of a sedan.

Reminds me of a more modern Jensen Interceptor.
Me bad, I like where it's headed.

You bad!

It's nowhere near as nice as a Jensen!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I think its always nicer than reality when you do the mental undress.

I'm looking forward to the NEW 928s, now Porsche and Audi are in talks to co-develop there cars (as I'm sure you know, Porsche owns around 33% of the VW Audi group) a new 928 looks even more likely.  Apparently its to be based on a modified next generation Cayenne/Touareg/Q7 platform !

i would personally prefer new 944, if one were to come, instead of 928..  I mean, 928 would be nice, with V8 engine and all, but platform from trucks?  seriously?

944 could be made from , say, Audi's supposedly forthcoming R4 sports car, with high strung, light weight turbo 4, and if they get the design right...  they have another instant track weapon special as well as sales success.. 

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

For some reason I keep thinking of some sort of Pasta whenever this Porsche sedan's name comes up. Oh I see... it's Primevera not Panamera sauce. Well if they can make a 3 ton minivan sell better than the 911, I am sure this oversize sedan will sell too.

looking directly from behind it is 911-esque. But 3rd quarter look is hideous! Like one of those Thunderbird cars.
