Given the way the panamera has turned out I dont see any reason to doubt that this is likely the new 4S ....I personally like it but I am not sure I will be replacing my 991.1 C4S

Ok, I know fat-shaming is not a nice thing to do... but, damn, that thing looks like a chub! Hopefully the real thing is better.

There are smaller cars in the US than ever before, so I'd say that is completely false.
I'd say it's generally because it's what people want. Not only is our market getting fatter, but people want more space, they want a bigger car that is faster. Guys want the biggest truck so they can feel badass. Ladies want a high SUV to see above all the cars. It's all constantly pushed towards "bigger". With that said, I think there are other things going on: The 911 has to keep getting significantly wider to stay relevant with GT350Rs, SS and ZL1-1LEs, Giulias coming in from one side, then entry-level Ferrari and McLarens on the other. Tires keep getting wider. It takes ever-increasing amounts of wizardry to keep the rear-engine chassis competing against these other cars where the engine is either in back of the front axle, or in front of the rear axle. When you exhaust the stuff like active-swaybars, 4-wheel steering, and so on, you still end up with having to make the car wider as these technologies eventually get used by the other manufacturers. They make terrific cars, but takes a lot of money to bend physics, and you can only bend so much before you have to do something like make the car wider with wider tires.

I do like the front and side view. The rear end is decidedly portly, and really detracts from the overall view.
It's as if it tapers down too much at the back. Anyway, they can make a 911 any way they want, it still remains my favourite car. |

That rear looks like it is missing something

Interesting. That middle light bar has always been a design of the 4 and 4S models if I remember correctly. It looks like it's starting to trickle down also to other VAG products like Audi. A move to create 'identity' that it's a VAG product?

All 911's had full width tails from 1974-1998, so it's nice to see them return.
