Report: Porsche Delays "Panamera Junior" to 2019

As unpopular as the Panamera was among Porsche aficionados when it first debuted, the car has grown to become one of the company's best-selling models. And like other sports car manufacturers who have gone mainstream, Porsche plans to build on this success by adding a smaller sedan to its lineup, nicknamed the Pajun. This BMW 5-Series-fighter was originally planned for 2018, but a recent report indicates that it will be pushed off until "at least" 2019.

Details are still vague, but rumors indicate the baby Panamera will be offered with a range of diesel and gasoline engines. An additional hybrid version will join the lineup further down the line. The Pajun will follow a redesigned Panamera, due for production as a 2017 model.
