Ugh…. as a Porsche fan I like this car… really too bad to see this happening to it.

VW, why not use it for the next gen Phaeton.

How about a Phaeton CC…

I will build a 6 foot shoe horn just to see Bugatti try to fit the W16 into the chassis

Lol, u may need a little help, gimme a call

I would like to see this head toward Audi

I hate VW, I love Audi, Bugatti and specially Porsche.

If Audi RS5 is reading, I told you the 4-door R8 would come down the pipeline sooner or later! Using the 10-cylinder because of the added weight/size? Huh? I’m tellin’ ya, you heard it hear first, it’ll happen, mark my words.

Wow VW…way to bend Porsche over and not even have the common decency to lube up first. Guess that’s what Porsche gets for the attempted (and failed) take over!

So this article tells us a whole lotta nothing then?

$130k is too expensive for a Porsche but also too cheap for a Bugatti.
The Panamera reminds me of a Ford Taurus wagon. Therefore, it should be killed along with all of its technology.
If I was in the market for a super luxurious sedan, I wouldn’t even take a glance at the Bugatti sedan because it would share a platform with a failed car. Why do I think Panamera will fail? It’s $130k. I could get a Mercedes AMG or Maserati nicely equipped at that price. It’s been discontinued before the first one’s even been delivered. And of course, it’s terribly ugly.
Porsche should have stuck to making sports cars. They should have spent money on a Carrera GT successor instead of SUV’s and sedans.

so , another rumour about unconfirmed rumours … what’s new ?

so VW is finally profiting from Posche not just the other way around, good stuff.

I reckon it is homosexuality VW boardroom style: this time Porsche is in submissive position. It was nearly other way around few short months ago. It almost makes gay porn obsolete.

alright, the way i see it, this is the 2017 vw cc, or the next a7, s7 and rs7 from audi. remember, the panamera is not going to be discontinued till 2016.

It must be German Thanksgiving. Why else would VW be picking off all the meat and leaving just the bones.

Cute, Borat. Who is the grown child again?

Lamborghini could use it to make a new GT car to fight the DB9, M6, etc. and use some of the Estoque’s design on it.

qpt_dude your so idiot you nearly caused me a headache. Thank God i didn’t read your post to the finish.

I’m reading Bosley, was on internet siesta so to speak in Ingolstadt. We’ll wait and see on that 4-door R8.

SomeGreek, I called the Panamera ugly and overpriced. How does that give you a headache? It’s not like that hasn’t been said before about Panamera. I actually had a headache trying to read your horrible english.

Porsche has difficulties breaking into new designs due to its customer/fan-base, making vehicles like the Panamera and Cayenne difficult for them to sell compared to other companies. The 928 and 944 “flopped” because it wasn’t what the Porsche majority wanted to see, it wasn’t 911-like. Sure there are people that like the “odd” Porsche designs but let’s face it there aren’t enough of them walking into dealerships and laying down the cash.

A4 dreamer, my remarks were not in any shape or form solicitation of your services. Go play with other boys meat, I am really to old for you and as I mentioned, I am a proud male lesbian.

Borat, come out of the closet already. Many of your recent posts have been about gay sex. You might as well admit it.

qpt_dude,
“$130k is too expensive for a Porsche…”
Stupid.
“…with a failed car”
Stupid.
“I could get a Mercedes AMG or Maserati nicely equipped at that price.”
Stupid.
“And of course, it’s terribly ugly.”
“The Panamera reminds me of a Ford Taurus wagon. Therefore, it should be killed along with all of its technology.”
Go ahead Porsche… Throw away the tens of millions it cost you to produce the Panamera…
Cause qpt_dude doesn’t like it.
If i’d called you retard it would be an insult for the retards, dum schoolboy.

beatusmongous, you want to drive Smart and I am a fagot? OK. man in Smart turns me on. That penis shaped car on wheels makes want to drive my rod up its tailpipe! OK happy now?

Now funny story just for you beatus, since you have young daughter. When my daughter was about 4-5 she came to me and asked “papa, what’s fagot?”. The first reaction of course – lets go ask mommy; but after look on mommy’s face, I said lets read dictionary. Thanks got Webster described fagot as a stick or bunch of sticks tied together.

I’m well aware you’re too old, your comebacks are about as dry as the bran flakes you had for breakfast.

Also, I’m not following your “dreamer” comment. I have already had an A4, which i traded for an MKV GLI, and also have a Silverado SS. I don’t dream.

And if a Smart is a “penis shaped car” then best of luck ever pleasing a woman with your gear. News flash: she’s been faking it.

Hey former A4 homo and current stud, I am pleased to learn about your success in life. You boyfriend who drives Silverado enjoys seeing you in your GLI much more manly then A4 mobile. Perhaps I am old, but you ain’t to bright. Insulting older man; may be insulting your own father. You really don’t know who dropped the seed that spawn you. do you? Take son. I’ll send the check to your momma, when I have a minute. She wasn’t all that bad.

For such an old man you sure type like a prepubescent arab.

…and cmon, mom jokes? I think the last time those were even offensive Toyota still made the Supra.

Seriously if anyone can make sense of his comment for me and translate it would be much appreciated. Cause I’m baffled.

A4, Borat, and company….

Why does the simple appreciation of cars and commentary upon them always devolve into some middle-school fever dream? Your comments are inane, pointless, and homophobic. Please, get over it.

auckyourassyourself, good point!

Porsche is really taking it hard on this one. They spent more on developing this car than any car in its. history. Sure, many think it is ugly, but the fact remains that it performs like no other luxury sedan. In other words, like a Porsche.

I think VW and company are enjoying making Porsche pay for its earlier indescretions. When they cancelled the Panamara, I knew that the platform would soon be snatched up to make future VWs, Audis, or Bentleys. The tech is just too good. Not only did VW in essence get to buy back all its shares for pennies, it also inherited the most profitable car company in the world AND recieved a high tech, top of the line performance sedan platform. As a company, Porsche it no doubt crying its eyes out on this one.

I just worry that VW will take it too far and ruin the future development of its high performance sports cars. The Cayanne and the future Panamara were likely to make up a good percentage of Porsches profits, allowing them to continue to make the good stuff such as the Cayman and the 911 variants.
