I like the side air intake gills. Also noted the use of the yellow caliper covers.
Good lines overall...wonder when we'll see road test results.

Very nice from the back, not so from the sides I think!

I do not like the look and feel of the new shift knobs Porsche has designed for their new cars. Reminds me of the nasty round one I yanked out of my 1997 the second I found one on Ebay with which to replace it.

no these photos are in Germany.
The LA sightings haven't revealed any pics yet. If you live near Westwood keep your digital camera handy if they haven't already finished shooting the commercial.

I don't get the bubble top at all. Now they can't even put a sunroof in it.

They should've made it a notchback. It's too 911/Bug/TT/Crossfire looking. A notchback would've made it look a little more Boxster, which we all know is badass looking.

Whoever designed the wheels should have their ass kicked.

The side vents look even worse than the 987.

The rear quarter panel that goes down at a 45 degree angle doesn't work on the 987 and doesn't work here either.

Rear quarter windows should've been a little longer.

Foglights are lame. 987 front end looks better.

Ugly interior with even uglier steering wheel. Nice square glovebox. LOL.

Performance-wise, it'll kick ass. But looks-wise, it doesn't move me at all.

Gill & Foglight Deletion

I think the car looks cool. Here are a couple revisions. Lose the gills and shift inlet back and up slightly, and 86 the foglights -as such...
