That house and that car are such a lusty worthy pair. Throw a nice wife in there for good measure too. If only production cars could possess such beautiful surfaces the world would be a better place.

I can't imagine why Porsche would offer any other 4-door version of this car, absolutely stunning and vastly better looking than the current Panamera.

 

[SKY]

Yep, I don´t know how car sites still say this is the Panny wagon. To me, this should be the Panny II. Just change the rear lights.

 

[K-A]

Change the greenhouse to something more exotic and sexy like a swoopier version of the current one (a'la a classic Porsche window-silhouette kinda look morphed for a Sedan) by way of taking out that generic Wagon/SUV-esque one, and we have a massive winner. If the next Panamera had those those two combo's, or even the upcoming Porsche Midsize Sedan, it'll be the hottest on the block.

No KA. Just because Americans don't like wagons doesn't mean the rest of the world does as well. The greenhouse of the Sport Turismo is one of the strong points. The wagon shape does absolute wonders to the design of this car....

 

[K-A]

We still need a Sedan version for those of us who don't want that "Wagon look".

I remember hearing that the Panny Designer originally had designed it to have a sleeker/lower roofline toward the rear, but when the Porsche CEO who is very tall got in the back and noticed too little headroom, he told him to "fix it". I'll bet the original style i.e how the Panny was supposed to look in that case would have already been a big improvement from the current one.

In this case I have to disagree with K-A. This concept transcends the wagon stigma due to its proportions (especially low height and width) and will be well received in the states. The sedan you are looking for is just not in the cards. If it comes down to this "wagon" or a facelift to the current panny, no contest.

Porsche must build this car!!

All this goes to show is how far off the mark Porsche was with the current Panamera's styling. I agree with others here - they only need one version of the Panamera and if this isn't it then it's a hopeless, lost cause this exercise.

I need conventional sedan why i have to carry that trunk wherever i go

 

[Cashmere]

This can't be good for the current gen Panamera in terms of sales. After seeing this, I dont think anyone would consider ordering a Panamera.

 

[Centurion]

Holy crap I just got blue balls.

Rewind the video to 2:20. I think Porsche are teasing the Panamera Facelift there. The car has colour coded dual column side mirrors just like the 918 concept. They are teasing that model throughout the video very subtly.

Indeed, the car appearing at 2:20 in the video appears to be something that very closely represents an automobile ready for production. The door handles, side mirrors... The question is: Is this car the facelifted Panamera I ? Or is it in fact a Panny II ?

Good point.

Then let's hope it's the Panny II. For one version is enough I agree and the concept (if gen II) is perfect and gorgeous IMO.

But! We know the Germans. This will propably be a new addition to the range. i can just imagine the headlines:"A new first and niche from Porsche"
Just listen to the introduction of the Vid - SOUP posted

The car occasionally appears with the bumper peeking and other times we see blurry shots of it unlike all the other cars in the room which are shown in their entirety.

Exterior wise I think the current Panamera is beyond saving without extensive sheet metal changes, I think it is better off for Porsche to leave the current car as it is and introduce the new generation as quickly as possible.

I wouldn't say it's that bad. The face can be touched up with new headlight units from the Turismo Concept. However, the rear is trickier and new graphics wouldn't be enough

Returning to the car appearing at 2:20 on the video posted above:

I am becoming more convinced that this may be an accurate reflection of what we can expect regarding the Panamera II. Flank mass seems to have been substantially reduced as has the mass between the top of the wheel arches (now with a pronounced flare) and the top of the front fenders. Also, the rake of the rear door glass appears to indicate that the car is a saloon/4 door coupe rather than a Sport Turismo.
