So far, Porsche has only released teaser photos of what is to become the German company’s ugliest vehicle yet. But exceptional Porsche tuners 9ff has already put up a sketch of what their version of the 2009-2010 Panamera will look like, once they get their hands on it.

The weirdly-named Cee’d is probably Kia’s best car right now. Even weirder is that Kia’s GCC dealers, in all their wisdom, chose to launch the Mohave as quickly as possibly here instead of the Cee’d.
