The front end of this car looks even more hideous (compared to the rest of it) when viewed from the side.
Bizarre.

it's basic trim and spartan. I know, >100k+ @ inflated price, throw in leather stuff and it will look better.

I bet keyfob will be in a forum of a nubbin, or may be nubbin is your plug-in key.. )

Funny thing is, if VW AG had put this car out with an Audi badge on it and said it was platform sharing, all the Porsche zealots defending this mess would be screaming 'Audi ruined the 911, look at how ugly that is!', but since it's Porsche, they're making like the Teslarati and professing love for the Emperor's new clothes.

It just looks like is was designed by gizmo people, not real driving enthusiasts. Is that a big speaker grill right behind the pull handle?...great for the knuckles. The break from big screen to the gauges is horrible as I thought it would be,....and so is the nubbin. Center vents look really cheap IMO. What's with the paddles being pretty small and the baseball bat for wiper functions? How are you supposed to read what is being displayed beneath the vent?....is it even legible from driver angle?

Middle of the car still has its organic smooth curves from the 991, but looks odd with a different design style on the new front end.

same boat... I think the 992 has huge potential but that interior seems like a disaster. I keep hoping with production finishes it doesn't look as bad but these pics look like full production interior. Yikes.

Yup.
I think that if they had not gone for the aggressive front "Lexus" grill and stayed with an overall smoother front end, the 992 might have been much more well received, even with the back end as it is.

Come to think of it, a lot of those flat switches on the 992 dash look pretty Laborghini-esque.

I love the front but that rear is too bulky. What matters is what it drives like though. Maybe I will get used to it once I get my hands on one and I forget that I ever disliked the shape of the rear bumper.

The front end is just as bad as the rear. That front bumper and hood is horrible. Way too many lines. Couldn’t be happier my 3RS arrives in February.

I love the fact that my GTI has the same wheel as a $200k Lamborghini. LOL.

Shocker.......... It's the exact same POS " why? why? why?" ugly interior with "WTF?" exterior design elements that we have been complaining about for the last few months. Where are all the " you haven't even seen the finished car yet" people now????
