I love the side contours of the front fenders. I only wish the rears on pre GTS's were sculpted to match.

I also am always drawn to the whole entire top surface of the car from the windshield forward. That mass of flat aluminum that makes up the tops of the fenders and the hood. Its just so simply styled, its one contour. Im not sure I love it, or if i wish it were broken up somehow, but it is very unique.

I like lots of things - as mentioned above... I do also really really like the front seats - look good - classic Porsche - and they are without doubt the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in for an extended period.

I can drive my 928 for 10 hours straight without back fatigue - in any other car I'm lucky to go 2 hours without discomfort... even in new expensive luxury cars... Porsche (or Reccaro) got this one really right.

Thought of 3 more this morning... The parcel shelf, Brilliant. The cavernous door pockets with the flop out armrests, also brilliant, and the e-brake to the left of the drivers seat. I don't know why, but that always seems so quirky and exotic to me. Kinda like Saab's ignition switch location.

I forgot to mention the air vent system. I love that you have so much control over how much air comes from the center vent and side vents in any mode (heat, defrost, etc).

My favorite would have to be the S4/GT/GTS intake manifold. Using an induction flap to tune and balance the airflow between the banks and flatten the torque curve was very innovative for it's time!
