Our sister site Autoblog has the just-released official images of Porsche's long-awaited and much-discussed Panamera, the marque's first four-door car (not counting the Cayenne SUV). Described as a four-door grand touring (GT) sports car rather than a coupe or sedan, Porsche's Panamera will likely share the Cayenne's range of engines. Production is slated to start next spring for a summer on-sale date, and the car is expected to be priced at around $175,000. The Panamera's styling, somewhere between a Carrera and scaled down Cayenne, is drawing decidedly mixed reviews. Last month we reported on Lamborghini's upcoming four-dour, the Estoque.

How can Porsche expect people to pay $175k for a porsche 4-door coupe, when that can get you a Maserati Quattroporte or Bentley Flying Spur (almost)?

COMMON! When your a company that makes boxsters to supply entry-level consumers, trying to sell a 4-door coupe for $175K would be like Walmart selling own brand wine for $300/bottle.

Does Porsche think its brand/products are comparable to Bentley, Maserati, Lamborghini, etc?

The car will be sell-out.How many people like myself have wanted a sports car but with a bit of room in the rear to allow for passegers over 5 Years.Even for the children under 5 its a right job strapping them in from the front doors.
