It looks like a 2 door version of the latest Panamera.

Ugh - this is the first one that I haven't gone "how the hell did they manage to make it look even better?" in a long while.

First impressions aren't grabbing me.

Oh, and get off my lawn since I'm an old coot how apparently...

I watched it until the boring German dude started talking. How is the Chinese girl the "Spirit of Porsche"?

That is a big rear spoiler when it raises. Overall, I like the body. A little disappointed that the entire model line will now get the center rear light/reflector as that has been the differentiating feature of the 4S for a while now. I also worry about the huge wheels with the really low-profile tires- our roads in CA continue to crumble and we have potholes everywhere-not a good combination for low-profile tires. 450 HP is nice. My '10 4S has 385 for comparison. I am guessing you are going to be going out the door for just under $150K-all in.

Makes a Cayman look that much better! I can’t say much good about the interior, but the outside is mostly a pleasing shape ( though I much preferred the blue car to the yellow one with the big ‘mouth’). Definitely going for more of a GT car look than a nimbly sports car these days.

I like it except for one thing, the freakin elect nannies, build this thing raw, build it so you have to know how to drive the dang thing. Build it so it scares the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) of me every now and again. Build it so I can watch a real drive spin it out on an autocross and miss the wall, and still set a great time. Then watch a commoner follow, and spin it backwards at the same spot into the the wall Mr. Derek Bell missed so gracefully. I know I am no Derek Bell, but I still want the raw knifes edge that tells me I F'd up, and if I get out of this alive, and no damage I have one hell of a story to tell once I become older they take my license away and I am wearing diapers and wiping droll off my lip.

I have a lot of them all ready, but as I watch my father decline, I know his story building days are winding down. That makes me want to go out and get even more with the limited time I have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

That’s whe early 911’s with skinny tires are still fun. You get to drive the car instead of the car driving you.

I agree, George, Cayman is a much better looking car. I think that Porsche is aware of that as well, so trying hard to update the 911 image

I like it, but it’s not for the DIYer.
