Where have I seen that front end befo........OMG








This is like when the new Ford sedan looked just like an Aston Martin, except in reverse. No wonder VAG killed off the Beetle....avoid confusion at the dealerships.

Is that directed toward the people who dislike this car?

I do sort of like the nubbin... if you buy the automatic you shouldn't be able to pretend it's still a sports car.

I'm so dissapointed with this. So many design flaws. Front looks like unfinished with this bumper. Lower part of hood looks like they went off the lines when drawing. It loses also the lightness of the 991. Rear? Was hoping for bigger and wider bar. There is too much space between porsche script and exhaust area. Also..there was a better solution with installing the third like brake. "Hans! We forgot abot therd lit! Oh, just stick it here!". I really was hoping for something extraorinary here, like light on every vent "toth" spreading across the vents when braking. And OMG...the interior. Is it a new big BMW sedan? It doesn't look like the sports car anymore... Clocks are fine but the the rest is more "wardrobe" than dasboard. And the worst thing off them all....The NUBBIN. Is there any bad car design contest next year? I bet this little ****ty selector will win the main prize even if the braun guys will vote opposite.

Overall it looks rather good. Proportions looks fine. Good mold to make nice facelift.

Must to see in it in real life just to get used to.

And... If You take model designation delete option? How recognize if it is S or 4S car?

Interior looks like a BMW or Mercedes and the rear is one big bubble butt.

It looks like they have attempted to integrate the CHMSL with the satellite radio antenna, hence the square area at the base of the light. Good idea in concept, but as with the interior, the execution is half-assed. If they had sweated the details with the LED strips, they could have avoided extending the light above the grill slats while keeping the antenna aperture clear.

Could have looked really sharp. Bummer...

I like the car but that third brake light is stupid. Also what's with the new font for the badges? Totally out of place and unacceptable imo.

Like the 718, it wasn't built for us.

They'll do fine in China.
