Just read the Excellence piece on it. Doesn't sound good. First its got 20 inch wheels. Handy if you want to use them on your SUV. Ahh....less tire choices at higher prices. And they've tinkered with the steering so that it filters out all the "bad" road feedback with elctronic wizardry. It's good for your trust us. Oh and they've made the steering wheel BIGGER. There's no e-brake. It's been replaced with a button. Now that's a sports car! The center console destroys the minimalist 911 feel and replaces it with the Panamera luxury liner theme. The car is bigger, longer so it looks even more like a GT and less like sports coupe. On paper the stats look nearly identical to the 997.
Hmm.....sounds like their going after the Asian and Russian businessman looking for plush ride home.
