I assume this means you got a ride in the test cars and it was so visceral and raw and wild that afterwards you had to spill your guts?

And speaking of Chuck Norris, have you seen the Huckabee campaign ad with Chuck Norris in it?

IMO Porches are never really eye candy like them italians except maybe the CGT. But they do the job along with carrying the brand thing very well which is what matters to the demographic they aim for.

Not surprising, they are the most profitable auto manufacturer around and are on the verge of taking control of VW which means control of Audi and Lambo!

Sharp eyes all around. Well I'm in the it-looks-like-ass camp. The 911 shape just did not translate to this thing at all. I'll await final judgement until I see it in person, but man alive it ain't looking good this close to sale. The front does generally look fine. It's the rear greenhouse curve into the ass that's just killing it. It's an extreme version of the shape limos of the 30s had. It looked good on those old cars; not on this new one.

The massive amounts of testing and lack of camoflage leads me to think the final design wont look much like what we have been seeing for months.

Rear looks like a 928.

Hope that car has a twin turbo V8. If priced within M3 range it will sell like crazy.
