I was kind of skeptical a few years back when I heard they were producing SUVs. But those turned out pretty well for them. Obviously, that sedan is going to be pretty fast but I'm not sure if porsche is going in the right direction here. Not too many people can afford 80k+ sedans and those that do tend to stick to the Mercedes and Bimmers. But then again, look what the G35 did to the entry level luxury segment...

That thing looks sweeeet! It should definatley kill that Mercedes CLS500. Who knows, maybe in 5 years the 4 door coupe will be the trend...

Yah.. I don't know. Very weird. Something about 4 doors and that front end don't go together.

IMO, Porsche has sold out when they brought out the SUV. As times change, people's preferences change, I agree, but the whole Porsche lineup shouldnt have. First an SUV, now a sedan. They gonna get into bikes now too??

I hate to admit, but I think it looks cool. I wish they made it just like that, but 2 door. Its a little longer I dont know, its different to regular Porsche design... at last.

The only reason porsche is doing that is because of Mercedes success with the CLS 500. I swear I see 20 of those a day driving around.

If you put your hand over the back of the car it looks very similar to an RX8, overall I think if its in the price range of the CLS i would go with the porsche.

If someone gets more pics, please post. I cant believe I like a PorscheT. It must be that angle that makes it look good.

That would depend entirely on whether you had beans for dinner.
