Porsche is introducing a 4 door sedan in 2008 or 2009 for a starting price tag of between $125k and $175k USD.

What do you guys think? I actually love look, I just feel it's WAY over priced. Anyone know any performance specs on it?

They made an SUV, so I guess they had to make this! I agree -- over priced! and no info!

wow, a 4 door from Porsche? i thought the cayanne was a little far from what they normally sell, i mean Porsche sells sports cars, not SUVS ( well they do now)

Yeah! I was so surprised at the Porsche Cayenne - Nice - but I was like are you all sure!?

i like it. it takes a bit of getting used to, just because porsche has such a unique and defining look. but i really like it! and i agree it's very much overpriced.

Eh.
Need to lose the second set of doors if it's going to be shaped like that; it's too close to a Lantis rear-end. And the front is pretty Ferrari-shaped, Porsche doesn't do their best work under opposing curves like the ones that come out of that bonnet. The Carrera GT had that problem.

I thnk they should keep the size and backseat but eliminate the 2nd set of doors. They need a 4-5 passenger coupe like my ci.

**komodo** · 05-17-2005, 09:58 AM

Yeah, those headlights remind me a lot of a Ferrari.

O_O

sweet...i love it, but yah...a little over priced

**projal147** · 05-17-2005, 12:16 PM

Personally I dont like it.

I agree the front is def Ferrair esq
The 4 dr look is NOT Porsche. They make sports cars. Didnt/dont like the Cayanne.

If it is going for a 4 seater, just get rid of the rear doors and make it a larger 2+2. The boot is too small for that look with 4drs.

In any event, it's supposed to be a V8, so Vrooom

According to the Porsche NA chairman, the reason the Cayenne was produced was to bring in cash from another market, which would enable Porsche to remain what it is - an independent company. presumably, this car will be for the same purpose.

**Spieluhr** · 05-17-2005, 06:45 PM

it woudl take a little getting used to, but i could like it.

personally i would never buy a porsche unless it was a coupe. you don't buy a car like that unless you want to seriously push it.

echo that dude. some old people are bad enough, but to have cars that just tease me and then they drive them like a buick.

**Torque** · 05-17-2005, 07:24 PM

i dont mind the cayene but a 4 door car.... for that much... and that not good looking... to me i think its a bad step for them... itll probably sell and be awesome though, but personally i think it could use some restyling, something along the lines of 2 doors a gt2 wing 19 inch bbs wheels yellow and twin turbo? what do you guys think!

drz · 05-17-2005, 08:18 PM

yeah.. definelty ferrari headlights.. i think even though its overpriced, it should stay that way.. Id hate to see porsches at every stoplight

**RealBmw 02** · 05-17-2005, 10:19 PM

if you took out those back two doors it would look just like a Ferrari 612 scaglieti (SP?)....boooo

**Turbodefrost** · 05-17-2005, 10:31 PM

I dunno... It's been growing on me a bit...
