Great effort! But I doubt the lineup will resemble that, unless you really, really know something Jalopnik doesn't.
In my head, the lineup wouldn't have more than 2 variants of the Boxster and Cayman each (allow for special editions, of course), 911 lineup is the same as ever, Cayenne will stick around and the lineup makes a great deal of sense,
BUT THAT MANY PANAMERAS? I highly doubt there will be a two-door one, or a cabriolet as an extension of that. I think it's going to be Panamera, 4, S, 4S, Turbo, Hybrid, and Diesel.
My logic is that Porsche is owned by VW now (IIRC) so won't be filling every niche they can. Said niches are also way to small to fill profitably, and there's too much overlap with 911 etc.
@Mobius: I cant really comment of the entire list, it's just too much speculation, but I know that Porsche and VW want to increase the number of variants on the Panamera platform, since it by its self is a money-losing proposition.
@Schm, enjoying his first desert winter. .: Hmmm... (strokes imaginary beard) In that case, I hope VW take the platform and put a prettier, less Porsche body on top. The ugliness is too much.
When I was twelve, I spent all my time mentally building custom cars out of the stuff listed in the J.C. Whitney catalog. Unfortunately, we didn't have Photoshop back then, so all that data disappeared when I discovered girls and lost my mind.
@wojo to Ford-Awesome SHO, Great Job!: The weird part was, 10 years ago I thought she was the best-looking Spice Girl by far. Then she turned into something resembling a small leather handbag with two water balloons inside.
@Ash78 here today, gone tomorrow: I agree with you about Victoria. Although stating that she was the best looking Spice Girl doesn't say much, she was quite attractive even without that qualifier. Now she could really use a sammich.

The next gen Cayenne will likely have a face closer to the Panamera, including the current hood detail.

Also if it's a real kid, when he gets out of school he's probably going to be in the car biz, if he's really into the analysis this much.

Get the documentary camera, folks, we have the opportunity to document a rare case study of a pre-adolescent dragon.
