While it is an interesting car I can't help but wonder why they chose to go front engined with it. Also how much cooler would the car have been as a 4 door 911 w/ the rear flat 6?

What's up with that C-pillar?

I can tell they were trying to keep the company rear profile but that just looks like a wagon or something.

It looks like a science experiment with a G37 sedan and a Cayman that went very wrong.

From the time I heard this car was to be made I didn't understand why but felt that if done right with good looks and all the Porsche performance it would do ok. It looks terrible IMO.

I know Porsche wants to expand it's lineup and while I never agreed with the Cheyenne idea, at least it was good looking and well done.

Not as nice as I thought it was going to be, considering the concept drawings that have been released over the past couple of years.

That looks really ugly. Sleek front end, fat rear end. Looks like a hatchback, it really does. Quatroporte looks 100x better.

Definitely not as sleek as drawings had made it out to be. In all honesty, I think that this car and the Cayenne dilute the Porsche brand. They should stick to sports cars.

There are sure a lot of Opels in that video!

Maybe it'll grow on me in time, but it looks very odd now.
