That Aston is sweet.

The Lambo, while everyone says Dodge from the rear 3/4, is beautifull in a Lambo way too.  And if you don't look at it from ground level you see how low the thing is and then looks nothing like a challenger.

So it has a Dodge ass in addition to the Firebird nose?

I hope that Panamera gets better gas milage than my 928 did.

Agreed.  Look at the flairs in the rear quarter panel and tell me it doesn't look just like the new Challenger, or even the Charger.  Hell, throw in an SRT8 motor and add a couple of inches to the top in the rear and it's a Magnum.  Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't drive a Lamborghini.....

I've always been a fan of high-performance sedans & wagons.  Especially the sleeper-looking ones ~

i have always loved sleepers. one of my "schemes" involves taking a car similar to my old LTD (1979 baby blue with dark blue vynil on top) and turning it into a beast that sounds the same and looks just like it did coming off the showroom floor.

Oh, hell yes     [evil]  [evil]

Make it with a 6-speed manual trans (featuring a clutch pedal, not one of those manu-matic setups) and I'm in.   [thumbsup]

I saw a prototype of the Porsche a few weeks ago in Regensburg Germany.  kinda cool looking, but i prefer the rs6

Slightly off topic, but I think that Panamera rendering is a little off.  Takes a little too much from the CGT.

Teaser from Porsche looks more like a 911/Cayenne in the front....


Definitely dope though.

I agree.





Tough to tell with the black paint job, but it looks like that rear door is shaped differently.  Is the door larger than that of the silver prototype? Wheelbase stretched a little?

The silver car is an artist's rendering based on camo spy shots.  The darker car is the actual tester with camo.

aka the silver car is not what it's going to look like.
