Although, how much of a teaser is it? The official photography from Porsche is what’s shown above…the current model line “welcoming” the newcomer, the Panamera.

There’s plenty of photography and video of Panamera mules cruising the globe. I’ll reserve my styling opinion’s for later when production-ready cars are shown, hopefully at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. Right now, I’m not excited by what I’ve seen.

In addition, Porsche has launched a Panamera microsite, complete with an intro video that visually recaps Porsche’s current and past models, hinting that the Panamera won’t suffer any unPorsche-like deficiencies.

What’s working in Porsche’s favor is the success of their SUV, the Cayenne. Many criticized the company known for their exceptional sports cars for producing a vehicle that couldn’t possibly perform like a Porsche.

But the critics were proved wrong as the Cayenne has been a sales success for Porsche.

Do you think the Panamera will be as widely accepted as the Cayenne? What do you think of a four-door Porsche? Cool idea or blasphemous? Let me know what you think!
