what a horrible name.
What bad about it? It's named after a legendary road race which is steeped in Porsche history. I think it's a hell of a better name Gayman or Chilipepper. As for the car itself, Porsche has been making sporty GTs for a long time and this is just a natural variation of that theme. I'm sure the car will set the standard for the class. I just hope they give it jaw dropping looks, and something original would be nice, instead of morphing the 911 into a sedan.

There is a medical term for this - "Emesis Inducing". 
Another boring looking design from Porsche(I say that while I am debating buy a 911)and with an UGLY wing too. Then again, its better than just making the Pepper

Are we talking about that blue test mule??? Isn't that far too disguised to have any real idea about the production version? Are there newer photos floating around?

People are drawing conclusions on seven month-old, heavily disguised spy shots -- why bother? You're really only offering opinions on how you like its disguise.
Regardless of whether people like the idea of a Porsche sedan, it's going to make them reams of money just like the Cayenne does, which will in turn help fund development of cars like the GT3. What's wrong with that?

But people love to gripe so... wah wah wah they go.

I love Porsche but it sometimes seems like theyre a bit greedy and more concerned about making money than sports cars

I'd rather they expand the brand and remain independent vs. sticking w/ pure sports cars only but needing to be acquired by a larger automaker.

I bet it will be gorgeous. I can already see many 911 cues, such as the widened rear flares and ass.
This will be one heck of a "sedan"
