Nah, it will sell. People said the same thing about the Cayenne. It sold and I'm sure it helped finance Caymen development. It's just another model that people with too much money will snatch up. The 2nd year though may be a different story. . .

posche interiors were never great.
exterior styling is usually awkwardly bulbus.
the exterior design applied to anything but a sportscar is going to have many off-beat proportions. (which the camo'd pic appears to reveal)

But I'm not sure people were pining for a 4-door Porsche hatchback...

To start with, Porsche cars are never that great looking to me. the 911 line of cars look pretty good, but never the emotional looks.
To me, Porsche has always been about performance.
This Panamera will probably perform really well. The look from the rear resembles the Boxster.

It looks alright until you get the hatch. It would have looked much better simply as a sedan with a really short trunk.

That car is really an eyesore...and it's a Porsche.
What happened to timeless sports car design?

What the deuce...
We've got some excellent spy photos of the Porsche Panamera's interior, courtesy of Teamspeed.com. The pictures appear to have been shot from the passenger seat, and show that the four-door Porsche's got a very familiar-looking five-pod instrument panel. It also appears to have a 911-style left-hand ignition key. The center console is festooned with buttons, hinting at the high equipment levels that will no doubt be available when the Panamera enters the market against some very worthy competitors from Aston Martin, Mercedes and Maserati. During 2009, expect most Panameras to be high-content, high-profile V8 models, with the less expensive V6 coming along once Porsche's luxury-sport sedan has established itself as a worthy competitor to the Mercedes CLS and Maserati Quattroporte.

It's official..... the Panamera is awful! That center console makes the Accord center stack look minimalistic. Anyone who buys it is most likely going after the badge, mainly.
