These Panameras are massive cars wide and bulky. I think they are like Hummers to drive on our relative narrow roads.
Somebody told me his name was on a waiting list for a big Merc and he went to look what was on the Porsche shop floor . They had one with a nice colour and he bought it .

Around the late 60's Porsche built 2 prototype 4-seater 911's. The picture of these still showed 2 doors, but a slightly longer wheelbase for slightly more rear seat legroom.

Apparently at the time Audi (and others)? complained that this may interfere with their market segment for 4-seaters, and Porsche agreed to drop the idea and concentrate on sports cars.

Rear side windows reminds a bit of an old Audi coupe-

Think they should have kept the original shape side window.
