Yuppers, that was the original 914 design. When presented to management, the bean counters figured out it would cost $8 more per car to make it that way with the nice curves.
"Let's build a box on a box, tell them it's a Porsche, and they'll buy it anyway". "Oh, and that extra $12 per car to galvanize the tub? Forget about it, the car won't last that long anyway." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

That original pic looks an awful lot like the cutaway drawing that's in most of the owner's manuals (and elsewhere) that has been literally cut-and-pasted. Those off-vertical lines through the image make me suspicious... I'm guessing someone was just messing around with a xerox, myself.
