A Lincoln conti is larger than a S-class. So it is more pointless than a convertible S class. furthermore you used a 2door panemera cgi pic. suggest a rework on this point.

oh yeah.. the conti is even worse..4 suicide doors.

check out http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/11/alleged...rtible-turn-up/ for ACTUAL 4 door patent approval pics

rear suicide doors i mean

ok... the whole point of me mentioning the Lincoln is to show a contrast between a car that was designed well and still remains a classic, while the Panamera is just not one of them. So im not saying its "more pointless than a convertible S class," rather I'm showing the difference between a car design that stands the test of time and one that its destined for suicide.

Actually there were Large Grosser 600 mercedes' without part of the roofs...Laudaulets. usually used by heads of state in the 60s and 70s..not to mention that in the 30s and 40s this sort of car was popular with dictators, presidents, sultans and maharajahs. I think porsche wants to bring back the good ol' days.

They can't go wrong with cutting that hump at the back off. As long as the hump is gone.

Porsche drivers can be very selective and particular when it comes to their cars. Most Porsche drivers are used to the small and nifty models such as the Boxster and Cayman. Unfortunately there are a large number of Porsche fans who are deterred by this, needing more interior space for other members of their families. The Porsche Cayenne is a large 4x4 model, but one which some might find to be too bulky. There are Porsche lovers who still want the sleek compact design of the other Porsche models, but with more space.

This is where the concept for the new Porsche Panamera came into being. The creative facilities at Weissach, Leipzig and Zuffenhausen decided to design a four seat and four door model. Although the car is bigger and has four doors instead of the traditional two, it still carries the same dynamic look and performance of a traditional Porsche sports car.
