If the platform is NOT being shared with Lamborghini, what is the purpose of having Lamborghini Estoque pictures accompany the article?

because it's a lie. misdirection is a key element to sleight of hand, as magicians would say. WCF is making a statement. It's so obvious.

Audi could make use of a RWD chassis... correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all Audis FWD or 4WD?

Audi is fairly vertically integrated. Adding an alien platform would cost more than it is worth.

As much as the idea of an RWD sounds appealing, Audi has become famous for its Quattro. RWD and Audi just don't seem to go together. Thats what we have Benzes and Beemers for.

Kill the Panamera, but use its platform for other VW vehicles..very smart.

if the panamera brings good money or profits to vw-porsche, why kill it? expect the car to evolve like the 911. but i got a feeling that they might revive the spirit of the 928 as a front V8 gt cruiser, or maybe a folding hardtop like the sl? oh no.

I totaly agree, and based to R & T,a new 928 is in the works:

looks like the rumors of killing the pana and cayenne were a hoax.

I am so thrilled that the Estoque Concept is not going into production. That aside, Bugatti could truly execute something astonishing utilizing the Panamera platform.

Don worry, VW will find a way to skank the Panamera out sufficiently to make a whole lot of money, coz', hey, big business is BIG business...

does this mean that the lambo estoque will be as pig ugly as the panamera? hope not. if the case, vw (lambo) are better of making their own platform.

They better make the Estoque becaues the style to the car seems much better than the Panamera.

I happen to know for a fact that the Estoque is definitely not going into production.
