My take is that Porsche should be respected if they sell a focused, dynamically interesting, focused product. Whether it has 4 doors or 2 doors, rear-engined, mid-engined, or front-engined, this is the abiding question. The 928 was a fabulous product and the Panamera/GT will be too if it adheres to traditional Porsche qualities. Actually, a front-engined 4 seat car brings less expectation than a 2 seat sports car, so I predict it will be a smash. My irritation at Porsche's "sport car" range surpasses their other products, because I expect a bit more from cars that pretend to be sports cars (i.e., 911s and Caymans without lsd and credible suspension options). I think maybe a Porsche Panamera (for grocery runs) and a real sports car (like a Z06 or Lotus Exige S) would be the perfect garage...
