True. I guess they want Paris to focus on the debut of Panamera.

Great things as it might just be all the car you'll ever need.
With the second-generation Panamera, Porsche has managed to fix basically everything that was wrong with the first model: the bulgy and awkward rear end. Further changes will occur at the back as the folks from Stuttgart are putting the finishing touches on a first-ever wagon body style that will retain most of the sedan’s sleek body, but with a reshaped rear end to accommodate a larger trunk.
It’s going to be called “Sport Turismo” like the namesake concept introduced at the 2012 Paris Motor Show and will increase the cargo capacity to well over 500 liters taking into account the sedan can swallow up to 495 liters of your items. Folding down the rear seats will make it even more practical as it will offer well beyond the sedan’s 1,304-liter volume.
The 2018 Panamera Sport Turismo has already been spotted stretching at the Nürburgring, so we have a pretty good idea of how it’s going to look like. The front end will be virtually carried over from the sedan while at the back there’s going to be a roof-mounted spoiler, which will likely be power retractable as indicated by the adjacent spy shots. Chances are it won’t come standard across the entire range as it will likely be reserved for the Turbo-badged models.
As far as the oily bits are concerned, the engines will obviously be carried over from the regular Panamera sedan, so expect the range-topping Turbo to have a 4.0-liter V8 with two turbochargers unleashing 542 horsepower (404 kilowatts) and 568 pound-feet (770 Newton-meters) of torque. The standard-wheelbase Panamera Turbo runs to 62 mph (100 kph) in 3.6 seconds with the Sport Chrono package and tops out at 190 mph (306 kph), but the Sport Turismo is going to be a tad slower due to the extra weight. Further down the line, a Turbo S will arrive to improve all those power and performance numbers.

...the version to get. This will be the best looking Panny. In fact, I wouldn't have minded if the SB would have been the only version.

So, it's Shooting Brake and a pedal to spare?

I can probably count on just one hand, the number of times I have seen the CLS SB.
Not to be pessimistic but I don't think the Panny Shooting Brake will survive for a 2nd generation. Despite it being the only direct alternative to the ferocious but family-friendly RS6, it will annihilated in sales by the Cayenne Mk.II and Macan. Porsche will struggle to make the American market understand what a shooting brake is and will unlikely market it there.

As expected its coming in March at Geneva. Looks to be a 4 seater to begin with:

I've seen a lot of renders like the one above but looking at the 2012 version doesn't the rear window with a greater slope make it look much better? To my eyes anyway. Unless it's an optical illusion and its the same car... Hopefully they didn't need it steeper to allow headroom.

Official I assume? If so it's not as nice as I'd hoped (or as previous renders suggested) because of the big pillar.

Not 100% sure but I think its official.

I wouldn't see the purpose of the Panamera if this is the Turismo. Why would you buy the sedan?

Looks better too, imo
