They should have just made it a station wagon at this point :huh:

But station wagons are not as arrow-dynamic.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I like everything about the car but the hunchback.

First Bentley rips VW, now Porsche rips VW.

Check out the Concept D (Phaeton) rear hatch.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

the "hunchback" is rather evocative of the 911 and 356 lineage, too, however.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

A five-door liftback sedan?

Ugh, that sounds like a mid-range '90s Corolla.

Actually, If they were to graft a Porsche nose onto it, it'd look ten times better.

Undecided on this. It looks nice, but the ergonomics are questionable, it seems the buttons on the left side of the shifter would be very difficult to reach and to see.

'Shit. We've forgotten the buttons for the heated seats. Look, just stick them below the other controls and discuss the weather if Wendy comes past. Yes. Like that. Good.

Wait. Shit. We've forgotten the sport button. Er. OK. Put it there, below the heated seat button. That'll do.


........What do you mean, Plus? Plus my ass! Plus your mother! Go plus yourself! Fine, fine. You know the drill. Under 'Sport'. Yes. There. Right. Can we go?

Oh. Shit. Something height-adjustable at the rear. Can't we just throw something heavy in the boot.......oh, hello Wendy, I mean, Dr. Wiedeking sir.....no Dr. Wiedeking sir, I didn't mean it that way.....you're looking quite thin these days, honest........yes, I know we don't want iDrive-over-the-cliff......knobs are a bit queer.....RIGHT, we'll put in another button......Lovely to see you again, Dr. Wiedeking! Do come again!



Who drew these testicles on my drafting pad? Watkins, was that you? Watkins? I don't like this sort of insubordination, Watkins!

I beg your pardon, Watkins?

A testicles button?

That's a fucking exhaust, you imbecile, and don't tell me you've forgotten to put that in as well!'

Do you mean the right side?

Yeah, I had just woken up...

Looking at the close up, it doesn't look like it'll be an issue since those are individual controls.

Tave

Yeah, I'm assuming the ones on the right control the passenger's seat.

The interior looks like the Carrera GT made a baby with the Cayenne and added some of that recessive trait called wood trim.

It looks tasteful, and judging by the massive amount of buttons, authentically German.

I love the interior!

Great looking car overall I think.  It's something different for a change.

It probably operates a butterfly valve in the muffler.
