Those headlights are NOT an improvement (IMO).

Overall, its an excellent design execution. The headlights...........meh, they could have done better. In the video, notice the extended rear seat headrests that match the front (likey big-time), 1-piece long center console with the open pocket and mini-armrest. The leather automatic shift-plate cover is nice too (kinda like Paul Champagne's recent product intro). The phone cradle piece on the RHS I've seen before and would enjoy having a similar setup myself for my I-phone if I could find one. The leather-covered one in the photo however, does not come anywhere near a color-match to the rest of the leather console and dash.

Yes, the one piece center console is a neat touch. Interesting that they didn't do a sunroof, though it must have been much easier to roll a 1-off long roof without one.

That more chopped hatch and near vertical B pillar is getting very close to Pacer territory.

I like the green theme too. And the gray hatched material is also cool. The rear seats look super comfy, interesting shape

If Porsche created this design study in 1985 they obviously had the molds for the S4/GTS '87-'95 nose completed then too. Also, the front fog lamps have the clear insert instead of black between the amber turn signal lenses. Little things I see after studying the photos include a different seat memory switch on the driver's armrest and a recessed rear passenger armrest by the b-pillar. I'd be interested in replicating the back seat headrests. I never could resolve with the design of the clunky, square rear seat tops we have. Hmmm..........I do have a couple of core front and rear seats i could play with..........

Armrests on the rear quarter panels are a nice touch.
