Just what everyone needs, a 2,3 tons Panamera. I just really don't like hybrid tech, obsolete before it matures...

Sure, it depends how look at it. It will definitely not be the sportiest version, but on the other hand it will be a very nice daily driver with V8 power for the Autobahn and e-power for city commuting. And it's the first power hybrid out there in this class, it will improve the image of hybrids and what e-motors are capable of. It's something new and I think it will sell well because of that. For Porsche it's an additional opportunity to gather knowledge to improve hybrid tech for the future. Remember a 911 hybrid may be on the cards as well, so why not.
