Is that for the UAE? How are things over there, is it like the USA where cars debut 2-3 months after European launch?

 

[Sayyaaf]

nope, on time with the european launch but usually 1 month later till the cars are actually here due to shipping delays. But even in the press release, it states that car is 9 months away from launch.

I guess it's June for delivery, especially when the debut is schedueld for April in China. Reviews and such should emerge before though to fuel sales and such.

Oh that's sexy!! It'd hit it, the rear end doesn't look too bad though some more contours or logo would add some edge.

 

[Merc1]

A 4-door 911. I'll hold off final judgement until I see it in person, but the rear is just plain ugly right now.

The contours in these views are growing on me but it's the side view that has been most concerning.

 

[VroomVroom]

The rear is look awful.

Porsche Panamera Interior Caught in Color
by Jonathon Ramsey on Dec 28th 2008 at 3:01PM

Someone has scanned a photo of what looks to be a production-level Panamera interior. The fact that it's dressed up in brown leather probably will probably be lipstick on a warthog for those who revile it in pre-production form. Of course the number of buttons has been a major item of discussion, but there aren't that many more buttons compared to the 911 or Cayenne - they've simply been rearranged.

Other changes: it gets at least one real cupholder (compared to the 911), the IP and controls to the left of the steering wheel have been more integrated into the flow of the dash, and the 911-type gauges seem to be topped by a trim panel like the one around the Cayenne cluster. Thanks for the tip, Jacob!

Wow, can't believe autoblog posted that photo just now, it's over a year old and various alterations have been made to the center console. That's just a pre production concept interior.

Internet auto journalism fail once again.

Hmm..

LMAO!

Please don't call that "thing" a journalism - since it is not.

Otherwise ... we can also call ourselves "automotive journalists" too.

What a great job ... searching for automotive news reports & PR statements on Google, reading rumors & insider info in car forums ... and then "publish" them on your own "news portal".

To me this sounds like "news collecting" or "news & rumors copy/pasting" - with some added fiction & dramatization.

It's a pure pulp. Not a journalism at all.

I can't say I disagree. This year has been ridiculous though, some of the new auto blogs have posted some horrible stuff. Sometimes you wonder if they bother to read news or other auto cities as they contradict themselves. This "news" is plain stupid considering that 3-4 ago we saw tons of interior photos of a production ready test mule, and they were even posted on autoblog! Sometime it's true that blogs are the voice of the peasant, as some autocities need to educate themselves in journalism.

^^ I was under the impression that this was the first real 'full' and 'unclothed' shot of the dashboard. The photos I've seen of the Panamera interior so far have been half shots, or shots of the exposed center console. Like these, for example:





I could be wrong though.

 

[Centurion]

^^
That one is the old as well, the center console is the same one seen on the next generation Cayenne test mules. The real interior was seen on a test mule last month, and the interior was black.
