    Hopefully that is more than a disguise and is just a mule.

    It defintely looks like a disguise, not a mule. You can see some of the headlight details.

    Well, I'm hard-pressed to name a decent looking performance sedan these days. I suppose the Maserati is one of the best looking, along with the Big Bentleys ( for Big money ). The MBs (including the Maybach) and the BMWs and Audis leave me cold. My experience with Porsche (performance, handling, fit and finish and overall reliability) would encourage me to buy a family lux hauler like this, unless they make it really ugly.

    Does anyone actually expect a 4-door Porsche sports car to be good looking?

    That is plain nasty. It will probably sell well though. I thought the Cayenne was never going to sell but I was wrong....big time.

    QP is ugly. 7er is ugly. S-class is ugly. Maybach is ugly. Flying Spur is ugly. Now the P-sedan is ugly.

    Only ones I like are the A8 and Phantom. Arnage is getting a little outdated so I like it only a little.

    I wouldn't say the QP is ugly! the phantom and arnage are great also. Most of the other cars are fine but nothing special. This kind of scares me its like I expected-another cayenne of course if thats the case they'll have a hit on their hands. honestly porsche's aren't beautiful (with exceptions made for the 356 and 911) but damn good machines otherwise :)

    I have yet to see a good pic of this car. Drawing or spy photo. Too bad they'll probably sell a ton of them and the car wont be put out of its misery like it deserves to be.

    Bill have you seen the new S65 in person?? I wasn't a fan of the new S body style until I saw a new S65 in black.

    not sure. I know I saw that monster coupe- is the S 65 just a steroided S class?

    The Panamera looks like an Infiniti...

    The M-B CLS is stunning.

    The rear of the CLS looks cut off. I like the side profile, but the front looks a bit strange.

    What's wrong with Infiniti? I've always liked the Q45, but I don't think they make it anymore. That gatling gun headlights.

    The M45 looks awesome, too. The front end of that car put on the G35 coupe looks very aggressive: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1755/infinitim45cgu5.jpg

    CLS looks fab - a neighbour has a black one and I love it, though I agree the rear is a bit droopy.

    Not keen on the Infinity myself, though I've never seen one in person since I'm in the UK and it looks like it may be better in person.

    Those spy shots of the panamera make it llok as bad as the Cayenne. Maybe it's all this, how-do-we-make-new-911-not-look-like-old-911-or-boxster-type-thing at Porsche really has sucked all the creative life out of their designers...
