Unless our spy photographer has been snapped up by Porsche and has now crossed over to the other side, this Porsche Panamera video looks like a marketing tool for Porsche ahead of Geneva. Not that they need one; Panamera will probably sell itself anyway. How a hidden guy with a small camera can spot the same car in the same area three different times is abnormal in our business.
Doesn’t matter, have a look for yourself and check out Panamera undisguised, driving on a public road. If you have been on Planet Ignorance for the past year and are wondering what in Porsche’s name Panamera is, I’ll fill you in a bit. This is the rival to high-end performance four-door models from the likes of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Panamera is the second four-door Porsche after the Cayenne and hopes to catch buyers that want a “family” Porsche but don’t necessarily like the high ride offered by the Cayenne.
A number of powerful engines will come standard, including the same hybrid that will become available in the Cayenne.

This car is hard for me to look at, that rear end is just horrible.

I agree with you, the rear looks terrible. It makes it look like a giant hatchback in my opinion which is extreamly unattractive. If they put a propper rump on the end of this car it would look so much better. Hopefully the production car looks much better.

Remember this still has cladding on - I am hoping the finished article will look better. And this is obviously some viral marketing on Porsche's part.

notice how it conveniently stops right were the cameraman is standing LOL. It looks very Porsche but the rump is a bit iffy, a bit Signum. The rear windows are disguised- they aren't really that shape.

still looks covered in some minor camo ... wait for final production trim photos before passing judgement! and I agree that silver exterior with natural brown interior would look best on this car.

Visually, its no Aston Martin 4 door.So sad yet, lets see it in true production form to be sure.

Backlights will be quite larger too, so with 20" wheels and sport suspension, and devoid of "make-up" it's going to be impressive, if not a true beauty.

I want to see the final production model,but the green one looks like Porsche 928 had a serious bowel movement.

I don't like the back end of the car it looks like they just took a Carrera and just stretched it to a four door. hopefully the production version looks better.

it won't compete with the AM Rapide, if it looks like that and it won't compete with the current CLS i believe

Just in the middle of the video, there is a beautiful Italian spider, in silver, beside this ugly 4door Porsche... I like it, is a Fiat barchetta!
