If the Porsche Panamera were a wagon, would it be any sweeter?

    [​IMG]Last week, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn reportedly mooted three new Porsches to fill out the line: something beneath the Boxster, a "baby Cayenne," and a Panamera variant. When it comes to that last model, the consensus among Autoblog commenters seems to be "Give us a new 928 or 944!"

    But what if instead of a coupe, we were to get a Panamera wagon? A forum member over at Teamspeed has Photoshopped what such at thing would look like, and the results are... well, have a look and decide for yourself. It would be roomy and it would most likely sell (overseas, at least), yet even though it's not the worst looker, we'd still prefer a new 928 GTS.

    It still looks like a sedan to me. But give me one for free and I'll call it anything they want.:rofl2:

    It's difficult to say, these days. I suppose, this otherwise 4-door hatchback would be just that, for anyone who isn't buying it just for folding a rear seat third, to accomodate skis.
    Shall we establish a rule of thumb, Sir. Maybe, say if a third seat row would be roomy enough to accomodate anything larger than 3 guinae pigs, it's the beginning of a real wagon?

    To me a real station wagon has a longer rear axle overhang and room to haul bulky items. Guinae pigs are not bulky. Maybe full grown farm hogs would qualify if they'd fit.
    Yet it's still not a Depot Hack or suitible for fox hounds.

    Farm hogs tend to squeal, Sir. Are you sure about letting them into your wagon?
