From the article:

"The main drivers for this version will be styling and prestige."

Cargo room between it and the sedan are very close--within a couple of cubic feet. I guess people wanting a Panamera with a hatch will now get their wish.

That old phrase "there's no accounting for style" is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture.

but the sedan already has a hatch.

personally, i really like the newest panamera and i like this "station wagon" so far, at least the pictures.

Ooops, my bad. I guess I never looked at the first edition trunk opening that close.

I like what they've done with the new gen. styling--that flattening of the rear deck seems to really improve the overall looks.The styling looks cohesive and what you'd expect a Porsche sedan to look like.

On the Turismo, the hatch looks like it has a much lower lift over height--which will be a benefit for some, but I'm not sure what else you get with it. A few more cubic ft of storage space?

That's a boat, not a station wagon.
