When we were in Monterey, I saw this car. What is it? I have never seen this strange back end?

I think it's the Panamera's grand-father the 356 Karmann Coupe. See http://www.notchbacks.org

Yep...it's a "Notchback" coupe. Not to many of them around.

Yessir!

VW also made a Notchback coup based on the type III/Squareback platform with a "stand-up Type I" engine. I've always wanted one .... 8)

I didn't know Porsche made a Notchback, too. Very cool. :beerchug:
