Like a child Panamera?

In this way, I feel that it has evolved a lot since the first generation. I can't say anything about the new model since it has not been officially announced yet, but I like the current 991 model in terms of design. The new 911 (992 type) with the connected back lights looks like a "child Panamera" to me, probably because I usually see Panameras...(Sorry...)
