I never cared for the 928, but the new car looks good, if indeed true. Auto Express don't have a good record in predicting new models, so I'm not holding my breath.

I have now. Looks like a BMW 6 series.

Front looks like a Vette and back like an Aston Martin. One view looked F430 like. It's a good looking car but lacks some individuality/brand recognition cues.

I would love to one day find a perfect 1995 928 GTS.

Until then, I would have no issue with this missile in my garage:

A result of a druken night of euro trash group-debauchery?

Not a bad looking car at all but I think I'd prefer an Aston, in fact I know I would.

I though I read somewhere that it's pretty much a foregone conclusion. I mean, why not? They've already got the hard work out of the way. Probably charge more for it than the sedan, too.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the phat-n-fast luxo coupes. 2 less doors certainly cuts down on the functionality, but I don't see how that makes it equally more "sporty."

I think it looks good but does not look "Porsche". the rear wreaks of Christler and the front does not have any typical porsche cues. Lines look great but just needs some tweaks.

The last few issues of Road & Track covered this. It will essentially be a 2 door version of the Panamera. Another over priced GT car. But not a true Porsche.
