Give their current debt load, the current situation with the economy and the overall automotive industry has them looking for outside investors for the first time in their history. With regard to the Cayenne, even in today's market it is still selling strong. Now with the Diesel in Europe and Hybrid coming state side next year, I only expect that trend to continue. With regard to waiting on the Panamera, I would pick one up today if I had the $$$ as it is, I'm with you and will be waiting for a CPO and will replace my MB E500 with it. @Steve,

The 2006 models just coming off lease are running from the mid 30s from private sellers to the mid 40s for a CPO with the AMG sport package, not the AMG 6.3 engine. I would have to put that in the category of the Panamera Turbo. At any rate, if I can get an off lease Panamera in three years in the low to mid 30s, I will certainly replace my wife's four door sedan with one, even if I don't like the idea of a Porsche sedan. The car looks better than a Lexus, Mercedes, and especially a BMW 7 series, a butt ugly car from all sides, and I suppose that is their primary competitor. No way I would pay full price for a new one though. I could afford it maybe, but the idea of paying 80 grand for a grocery hauler is just ridiculous, when there are some excellent cars out there that fill the same requirement for half or less. I'm just not sure this is the right economic time for Porsche to be introducing their first 4 dr sedan. Timing on the Cayenne was a much different story as the world was in a bubble, jobs were plentiful, people the world over, and especially here in the states were taking out second mortgages and cash to buy cars, remodel their homes, and all number of very expensive creature comforts. We are in a much different place, and therefore the dealers may get stuck with lots full of these cars. I would hate to see Porsche follow the US auto industry into financial hell.

The interior is stunning. Better than anything out there now. The pricing is certainly more reasonable than many thought. I like it the more I see the real pictures of it. I can't wait to see one in person to get a feel for the scale. The first used one at around $30,000 I will probably buy. That should be in about 2012. You know. The interior is stunning.
