The picture looks strangely similar to my 914....I wonder if Porsche will set the price point at $3999.00? They may have to.

I think it is a wonderful thing - a car like that would be very useful to me. I can only imagine my Box with more power and a backseat - . At the price point I am hearing Porsche is planning their 4-door at, I am imagining that it will be an amazing car indeed.

Sigh. The development of a Porsche pickup is not as farfetch as I thought it might be.

That's just wrong!!

Ok so Lambo had Hummer type car and Merc has SUV and station wagons and their brands aren't really diminished at all. Although Merc doesn't quiet have the allure it had just a few years ago.

But a pick up has the conotation of blue collar activities.
That's a no go for the brand image Porsche is now enjoying.

A luxury sedan is a big risk I think for Porsche but it could in theory work if they make it very very expensive and give it "unmistakably Porsche" looks.
If it ends up looking like a Lexus with a Porsche crest on the hood it won't work.
Now if it looks truly exotic like a Quatroporte Maserati with a Porsche crest that will definitely make some more dough and maintain the brand image.

so no on the pick up and low cost anything...

How come no one ever looks at the links I post? Here is the picture that was in the link that I posted earlier. It looks like an elongated Viper to me. With an extra door. The shape is cool, but the whole concept should NEVER have been attempted to begin with. NO 4-DOOR PORSCHES!!!!! I think this is the death of the sports car.

Gotta love Alta-Vista. I translated the German text under the picture of the Porsche Pickup. This is what it came back with:

"The Cayenne alone is already an absurdity: Hochbeinig like a jeep, but motorizes like a Racer. On the four-wheel insanity one can still draufsetzen, if one wegflext the rear cab. Cool ones, now must still specially-strong straps on board, so that the rasenmaeher does not fly with accelerating from the loading area"

Glad to know one can still draufsetzen if one wegflext the rear cab! lol...
