Porsche has announced pricing for its all-new Panamera luxury sedan. The standard four-passenger, rear-wheel-drive Panamera S, fitted with a 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8, will start at a cool $89,800. Bumping up to the all-wheel-drive Panamera 4S with the same powerplant will set you back $93,800. The top-of-the-line AWD Panamera Turbo features a 500 hp, twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8, and a window sticker starting at $132,600. (The prices do not include an estimated shipping charge of $975.)
Manufactured in Leipzig, Germany, the sedan is expected to compete with the Mercedes-Benz CLS (base price $71,575) and the upcoming Audi A7 (due in 2010). In case you were wondering, Maserati charges $119,750 for its entry-level Quattroporte sedan. We'll get a better look at the upcoming Panamera at the Shanghai Motor show in April. According to the automaker, it is scheduled to roll into showrooms on October 17.

Something interesting, but is it a Porsche?

It's not a bad looking car...only the 3rd quarter needs some design work done to it. But there's only so much you can do with the general 911 shape. Which is a bone of contention with Porsche. Try some more varying designs.

Are you kidding me this thing looks horrible, from the back picture it looks like a Chrysler Crossfire.
This thing has got a body that only a true fan boy could love.

This design is starting to grow on me. I guess not being a Porschefile helps. Can't wait to see one in person.

I kind of actually like this car... It's different, but that makes it interesting. The interior is pretty bad in general but the details are kind of nice.

I am not talking about material quality, I am talking about design... It's boring as hell.

I don't see the Cayenne or Cayman especially in that. I personally love the Cayman. I really don't like the back of this car. The front, as much as I hate to admit it, is kinda growing on me. I think it has a lot to do with what kind of rims it has because I really like the ones there

Porsche still manages to sell everything they make...I never thought the Cayenne would sell. So much for what I think. Same goes for the Bangled BMW 7 series. Who would have thought that it would be the best selling 7 ever? Not me.

Actually a reasonable price, surprised me. Can't wait to hear how it handles.

With those looks it'd better fly.

These interior images are not photos, but computer renderings. One wonders why...

After looking long and hard at these pictures, I can say this car has really grown on me. While it isn't near the top of its class in terms of style, it isn't as ugly as I once thought it was. Better yet, it has a great drivetrain and interior to boot. Porsche might not have such a bad time selling these things after all!

It in fact reminds me of a Renault Mégane hatchback in the rear-3/4, which really isn't a bad thing.
