Something about "Porsche" and "Sedan" that don't fit together!

while i don't deny the car looks, to put it gently, awkward at this point, i'm pretty sure it handles like a dream. if and when it comes out, i'm sure it will look a lot more appealing.

that first pic has to be wrong. i would bet good money that when this comes out its styling with give it the same kind of presence of the Maserratti sedan. people thought the idea of a porsche SUV was crazy and its been their best selling model since it was introduced, dont go thinking they are biting off more than they can chew.

I like it. They're trying to do what Maserati did with their 4-door sports car.

i agree with Froggy, this car will steal away maserati's quad porte car sales. It seems like porsche made this car to compete against maserati.

Am I the only one that'd prefer they bring back a 944 style model? Front engine, 50/50 balance, decent power but focus on handling and AFFORDABILITY. Bring the price in under the current Boxster.

Don't get me wrong, Boxster base prices are fine. But I need a backseat and don't appreciate that "painted crest center caps" are an addition $450 ... if you get my meaning.
