I like the looks, I sure hope they match the drive and handling dynamics.

Very nice sounds impressive to improve the handling on a world class car.

Wow, that looks good. It should handle better since the engine is almost "mid".

"Mid"??? The engine is still hanging out back as far as I can see.

So refined. Soon it will have bloodpressure sensors and 3d dancers on the dash.

Completely cosmetic observation but I love those block letter P O R S C H E letters on the back. Way cool.

Odd. I think the model insignia delete option will be popular

Ya, I don't like all that script in the back... looks like a whole sentence just like some of the Panerama models. Way to much going on there.

I agree. In terms of sheer quantity there is way too much writing ... but I like the old school Porsche logo. Sort of retro touch on a modern car.

I don't know....my first impression was that it "looks" like the offspring of a Panamera and a Cayman.
Maybe it will grow on me!

I'd upgrade, don't like the center console, sunroof and scripting but everything else is awesome.

Hmm, I agree, console is very Panamera... and there's way too much writing on the back.
Overall, I do like it.

Sunroof...DELETE!
Badge...DELETE!

The front end looks over-wrought.
That being said, I can't wait to see one in person.
