OLD CAR REHATCHED

[Zedrush]

Not sure whats happening but thought a few companies were going to reinvent old models or bring out promising new models next year...

 

We had rumours of new supra:

 

originally was this:

 

 

but perhaps looked to much like Lexus LF-A so changed to this:

 

 

Then you had talks of the Lexus LF-A

 

 

and if Top Secret had their way

 

 

Then you had talks of the Porsche Saloon

 

 

Are any of these car going to materialised, one Im interested in is the supra and what it will be able to achieve.

 

Also why is it production cars never look like the concept car???? Why do a concept car in the first place if its not going to be like that in production?????

The Porsche Panemera is due out next year I think..... or maybe 2010

 

The Lexus LF-A had been signed off I believe so should be on sale in the next couple of years.

 

Not sure about the supra though.

The Porsche Panamera is built! Looks hideous and nowhere near as sleak as the concept but they've done it.

 

That top secret concept looks

More p1ss-poor, lazy styling from Porsche.

Porsche seem to be losing their way with the styling and final product. Last couple of reviews I've read on 911's haven't been too complimentary either.

its just a prime example of Porsche cashing in on the market and forgetting about what their brand stands for. First the Cayenne and now the Panamera...both such unimaginitive looking cars but because it has that badge on the front they know they will sell millions of them.

 

Look out for the Porsche city car....coming to London streets soon

See, I really like the Panamera and think it looks a lot better than it has any right to. I wouldn't buy one myself even if funds allowed, but I don't think it's as hideous as some of the guess-art looked.

I have to disagree with you there. Almost every car manufacturer in the world has gone through some pretty severe brand changes in the last decade or so, and they've had to as the competition has changed. Ford now produce very good cars as they've got to compete with BMW, and Vauxhall are just about turning the same way. Toyota = boring and safe, and so on and so forth. Porsche needed to add the Cayenne just to make enough money to survive, as 911 and Boxster sales weren't doing it for them. It all very well and good to be able to say "Oh, we're a sports car company and that's all we'll ever do" but if it's not paying the bills...

 

No-one mocked Aston when the Rapide was shown. Same principle in essence. Okay, so the Rapide is somewhat better looking than the Panamera, but the needs are the same.

does it look like this

 

 

cos i think that is pure sex

 

hope they do a new supra

[rtbiscuit]

see the supra looks like a viable replacement for the 350z. it maintains similar styling in the revised pic to what the zed is now.

 

i've never stuck with the same manufacturer twice. although this is my second jap car.

Lamborghini's also in on the act....
