What's your favorite 928 design element?

Everything. It is a beautiful and well thought out car inside and out.
Lets put it this way, the only thing I wish they did was put bigger diameter wheels on it back in the day.

It's a lot of things. The tail end looks like the lighting setup from a flying saucer; at six four, I can comfortably stretch out and drive for miles on end, these poor arthritic knees feel fine after a long drive; And while I was never a big fan of the pop up headlights, after a few girls told me how cute the car looks like it's waking up when the lights come up and light up, that feature has grown on me quite a bit. The sound; while lots of others want louder exhaust, this is the only car I've ever owned that gets compliments from women about the way it sounds without any provoking for it. The great seats; heated in the wintertime, too. Nice. The only thing I really don't like on a daily basis? The arm rests are uncomfortable. But I can change that myself.

It may seem trivial, but for me it's the blending of the dash into the doors. No other design element has been so universally adopted. The 928 was the first.

All of it.

i wasn't around for it, but how many cars had integrated plastic bumper covers in 1978? looking at the history of the car, i think this is one of its greatest attributes. every car (and even gm trucks) has this feature now.

The rear end is just a thing of beauty. The way the nose slants and the way the headlight fit.
One of my favorites has to be the design of the interior. The layout is perfect for driving and comfort. Regardless of the exterior if the interior wasn't laid out properly it would be like a lot of other cars that I have driven or sat in that looked cool but once you sat in it, it no longer worked!
PERFECTION!

Front fenders/light is definitely a thing of beauty.

The front wings (US fender) particularly on early 928,s absolutely epitomises the profile/snout of a shark.., much more than the later cars.., love that profile.

it's just a little thing, but I love looking at the little illuminated nub on the top of the headlamp... Also, the wraparound cockpit that wraps into the doors (as mentioned before) is simply gorgeous. And of course, the *** end. soooooo hot, want to touch the heiney.... ouwwwooooo. The pod is awesome too, especially how it moves with the steering wheel, and I love the shape and placement of the switches.
