NEW 928?

My mate just emailed me this:

Are they actually going to revive the 928- looks fantastic in my opinion..

So - when the new 944???? []

Looking at the rear three quarter photograph: I have to wonder whether it was designed by Ian Callum?

Lovely looking car, just shows Porsche can still design a good looker when they put their minds to it..

IMO the Panamera is one of the most accomplished cars Porsche has produced, if this is as good then they have a winner. Looks gorgeous.

This is possibly the worst kept secret in the motoring world. Porsche are bound to do a new 928. I just hope they call it a 928 and make sure it has a transaxel. The car in the Autoexpress photo's is lovely but i'd be disappointed if this is what the actual car will turn out like. The original 928 was ground breaking in its design - not necessarily beautiful, but certainly new, different and attractive. Porsche don't do pretty cars and the car in these photo's is too pretty for Porsche in my view - too Aston Martin. Porsche have never followed the crowd before, I hope they don't start down this road. In a world where all cars are starting to look the same it is refreshing to have at least one manufacturer that produces cars that look different and put function ahead of form.

I saw a Panamera in the flesh for the first time last weekend. It is a very good looking car and looks much much better in the flesh. It also looked smaller than I know it is. Maybe it was just my perception because so many people have commented on how massive it looks, but to me it looked no bigger than say a Merc CLS, which is a big car having said that, but I was expecting it to appear to be noticeably larger than a CLS. It certainly doesn't look longer than a Cayenne.

Stick a 997 and a DB9 in a blender and this is what it'd look like. I think it's stunning!
