Sorry I have to once again be the dissenting opinion. I think this design for the best engineered Porsche car to date is AWFUL. The front looks like a combination of RX8 and Volkwagen. Very feminine and not at all appropriate for such performance. The lights have zero fluidity in blending in with parking lights and grills. The hood line looks stunted and there is nothing pulling it together. Its like a free for all of object slapped together. The rest? Very bland overall, unispiring.
Too bad because I thought Porsche was taking the 911 in a bolder direction in recent years. Looking at a 996 GT3 RS had a visual impact very similar to what I would feel when seeing a Ferrari 355 or 360. I had the same feeling looking at the Ford GT and Maserati GranSport.
But this is just terrible, and don't get me started on the SUV interior.
