Porsche Rips Off Taillights From 1993 RX-7 For Panamera Sport Turismo: Paris 2012 Live Shots

Jack thinks Porsche may have ripped off the Ford Taurus X with their new Panamera Sport Turismo concept. I say the taillights are a rip-off of the 1993 Mazda RX-7.

What are the differences with regards the interior? The Panamera is (sorta kinda) an estate wagon to start with (ok, shooting brake, whatevs.) I can only assume that mangling the rear of the car so badly (I said something derogatory about Porsche, I presume I get credit for that?) allowed for some major interior enhancement ... a third set of seats? A jacuzzi? What the heck is going on back there?

This is a much prettier ride than Panamera. I might place my order if it is diesel powered.

ToolGuy™ I respect what the seller is doing, but this vehicle is not for me. (Seller doesn't care, has two people lined up already.)

MaintenanceCosts Spent some time last summer with a slightly older Expedition Max with about 100k miles on the clock, borrowed from a friend for a Colorado mountain trip.It worked pretty well on the trip we used it for. The EcoBoost in this fairly high state of tune has a freight train feeling and just keeps pulling even way up at 12k ft. There is unending space inside; at one point we had six adults, two children, and several people's worth of luggage inside, with room left over. It was comfortable to ride in and well-equipped.But it is huge. My wife refused to drive it because she couldn't get comfortable with the size. I used to be a professional bus driver and it reminded me quite a bit of driving a bus. It was longer than quite a few parking spots. Fortunately, the trip didn't involve anything more urban than Denver suburbs, so the size didn't cause any real problems, but it reminded me that I don't really want such a behemoth as a daily driver.
