Granted, I don't like this car, but if I did own it… there would be NO WAY IN HELL that my kids would be watching videos in the back.

They would be learning to appreciate the sound of the motor and the thrill of lateral Gs.

Which is "worse/better?".... the 4-door Porsche or the 4-door BMW?

i think the porsche looks better. i think bmw designing has failed imo after the 1 and 3 series, 7 series is good. other that thos i think the rest that came later have been terrible. bmw is making designs over the top.

This car is growing on me.

I agree the rear is not as good as the rest of the car (its kinda bad actually). But that interior looks top notch and from the front, it is one of the nicest sedans I've seen.

They couldn't figure out a less intimidating center console?

Aside from that, I actually think this car will look beautiful in person.

I REALLY want to like it, 'cause I love Porsche - but that car is breathtakingly fugly - and I guess they had a liquidation sale on buttons and switches when they designed the inside. It reminds me of a Citroen from the 60s/70s...hopefully, whenever one passes me on the Autobahn it'll be doing 180...

Damn, stretched limo styling. It looks as if they chopped the 911 in half and added the center section. Also, WTF is wrong with the button fetish in the center console.

Another PS:


I honestly think gemballa can make the rear look pretty damn awesome...

Once they hit the street in some cool colors and the styling companies get their teeth in it It's gonna surprise some people IMHO!

And BTW, pricing is F'd UP...

+1 the rear is really ugly...

but the interior is really very nice ... the layout is very unique indeed and quite a good improvement over the current porsche carrera's/boxster's layout.
