Looks slick & sleek - true Austin-Martin & Jag XKS competition! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Wut iz it?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .....a Panorama Coupe??

If so - it's kind of an oxymoron, with the Pano being a 4-door 911 series progression, then digress to a coupe - almost but not quite a 911?

I'd like to see Porsche resurrect the air cooled 914 in an updated body - lower & lighter than the Boxster - ergo quicker around the turns - along these lines from a VW study that appeared in MT 9/08....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

However- it needs to be a pure Porsche project this time around to assure top quality & stop the "real Porsche" bickering - which may be hard given Porsche's financial woes & failed VW takeover & VW's buying up Porsche stock to gain control!

Undoubtedly a beautiful car I'd like to see.

The front has echoes of the Ferrari 599 GTB and the back could be an Aston Martin.

Did Porsche just blink?

I like it and I hate the Panorama.

That article said the developement cost for the Panorama were around $2Billion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) - No wonder Arabs now own a part of Porsche & VW

TC, look around - a good part of what you see in the USA is owned at least in part by the Middle Eastern countries & individuals or China! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

IIRC - Porsche Design Consulting did the original A-M design.....so - if I'm correct - who's ripping off whom? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Even if Porsche designed the A-M, I must assume they were compensated for it, and that the design became the property of Aston. Regardless, the look has been out in the market for years, associated with A-M. Porsche couldn't pen something different? And borrowing the Ferrari front? They designed that, too?

I'm all for Porsches with better lines, given the recent non-911 models. I'm just disappointed they chose not to be original.

...this isn't a Porsche concept, it's an attempt at globalization and marketing across age groups...who cares....it looks like a car my dad or the neighbor would want...which in fact, is NOT what I would want. Remember the basis of Porsche concept. This is not [it].

Yes, he designed the landtrain, and tanks and and and...but Porsche is best remembered as a purpose based, unique auto, that had only two seats.
I'm not interested in a Porsche Buick Roadmaster, or a Porsche SUV, or a Porsche Chevy Stationwagon, or a Porsche family car. The same kind of guys wanted to kill 911 and create 924/944/928.
...
When I'm driving my Porsche, it's me, the car and a bucket of curves. If I wanted my family along, I would drive my Ford Explorer and stay on the freeway.

[I think Peter should take a couple of the engineers and go hide out on the Zell am See, and come back with something with roots back to his grandfathers idea. Something with 4 tires, 4 cams, 4 valves, normally aspirated, with 2 seats, 2 mirrors, 1 steering wheel, and 1 stickshift, no cup holders, no "match my pussy paint and interiors," something around 180 to 240 hp at 760-850Kg max.]

How is it there are thousands of people that believe the same thing and yet the very people who actually are driving that bus, are clue-less.

(Hummmm, my car was built by VW and it says Porsche, but only here in America, everywhere else it is a VW-Porsche and was sold through the VW-Porsche-Audi dealerships). ...full circle...I'm not bitchin' about the VW-Porsche thing...it has always be a part of the same family...I bitchin about who let these retards drive the bus...send them to GM or Chrysler or better yet KIA.

Because the kind of people who want this (what you wrote about) are not the same people who will pay $100K for a car...... and Porsche likes to sell to the $100K club, not the $30K club.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ...& will add go back to the air-cooled to shed the water-boxer's & radiator's weight, but I could even live with 1 or 2 cams & 2 valves per - if it performed like Raby's 2270s & up, etc.! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

KISS has a value folks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

...& it's true that PAG would rather sell 1 - $100k+ car to 3-4 $30k +/- ones, even if the little ones perform better! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Again I say.....PORSCHE give me one of these little buggers, or something similar! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

PAG could clean this design study up a bit, tweak the engineering, & produce a modern skateboard which TEARS around corners in true 914 tradition, & one which still has "real" factory support & parts availability! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)


...I'm still waiting!!..........

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) However, they ARE the ones ponying up $100k +/- to buy old 356s & restore/preserve them!
