I was looking for more flair to the fenders but now I’m not sure, this is a busy car and a lot going on. They went too far on the doors, the Cayman hockey stick intake would have been plenty. I was hoping the hood would look more like the new 911. I’m not sure the hood and lights is even Porsche. I want to like this car, I’ll have to keep looking. I know the new 911 rocks, they got it just right there. I have always felt my 986 needed a ‘little more’ and I think they did that with the Spyder. All they needed to do was add a little Cayman flair, make it a little wider and longer and it would have been perfect. I’m not against new designs, I like progress.

This interior might be busy too but it is nice!

I call this slap together design:

slap on some Carrera GT doors (the Ebay guys selling those fiberglass Carrera kits for your Boxster must be pissed). Slap on a wholly incongruent Panamera interior. Slap on some Cayenne 20 wheels. Slap on the old front end. And ask Mitsubishi if they mind borrowing their Spyder rear end. Nothing original or innovative. It is very obvious they are appealing to non-roadster enthusiast who would otherwise buy an SLK, BMW 645 or Lexus convertible.
