Eh, I dont like that rear roof line, Doesnt looks as flowing, and seems like its not going to be a hatchback meaning there wont be that much room, Looks like they are going the cheap rout so they dont have to create a whole new chasis. the rear profile reminds me of the 350z, the pic in of the red one with a rear hatch open looked better.

I think that whole rear center piece is the hatch. Look closely, there's a line about four to six inches above the rear window that looks like a seam. I think it runs all the way down to the spoiler. Besides, there's no way they can make this car without a sizable rear access...and not just for luggage.

I think it's going to be beautiful. I love how the roof line helps emphasize the hips. Dead sexy, actually. Saving for one now...

When I first looked at the pictures........I to was a bit concerned about how the back looked. The more I look, the more it's growing on me. I still think there will be some minor tweeks in the future that will make it look just right. I would drop the spoiler if at all possible though.......think it looks much better on the drop-top rather then the coupe.

One question though.......in order for me to be on board I would have to have a sunroof, but the roof line is scaring me a little........don't know if there would be room for one. Maybe not an internal slide version, maybe a external slide type. What do you guys think??

That's a good question, that roof line makes quite the bubble. But I'm guessing they'll have an internal one that (unfortunately) cuts into headroom. Probably won't be very big, either. I can't picture how the newer 911s operate their sunroofs...but this one can't be that different?

Along with the headroom, I'm curious to how the interior space will "feel" around me. With the soft top up on mine, it's quite cozy. I can live with it in the 'vert, but I hope they give a bit more room in the coupe. I imagine they'll have some empty space (maybe a parcel shelf?) behind the seats. It looks like the roll hoops are gone (they shouldn't be needed), so that may help.

MORE...MORE...I MUST KNOW MORE!!!

As I own a 928 I know all about the small sunroof.......more like a sun-slit.......but it's just big enough to let the sun shine in a little. Hopefully Porsche will find some way of getting it done. Owned an Audi TT coupe for a short period of time......brilliant car (don't let anyone tell you it isn't), but actually gave it up due to the lack of sunroof, otherwise I would still have it. Don't know why Audi chose not to do it........some say as to not subtract interest from the convertible. Some went to the aftermarket and had one put in.......looked very nice and close to factory......definitely could have been done at the factory.

I guess I'm lucky in one respect.......at 5'9" I'm not part of the "headroom challenged" group........

OMG.. I agree!!!!

Am I the only one here that thinks the back end looks awkward in those pics? Eww.

Can someone post a correct link? That one doesn't work.

Not a bad looking car... talk about getting mixed... Wonder if the headlights are post 2001 like the Carrera.
