Porsches overall styling is going no where, the cayman looks good as does the 997 4s but the New turbo- looks like a mitsubish gone wild thing, and this thing which I am sure is partially made to look fugly for the press needs alot of help. They left the porsche shape with the 993 and they have not gotten the stylin right since.

If you look closely the rear side glass and C pillar are false.

I must have missed the headline "GM buys Porsche".

It's the Griswold Family Porschster.

Don't you guys all know what Porsche does by now? IT's been well publicized and there was even a TV show on Discovery about the development of the Boxster. They have a huge supply of fake parts that they put on the cars so that they can test them out in the open without people seeing the real car. When the Boxsters were in testing they all looked like old beat up 944 bodies.

My heart is beginning to slow down. It's not very nice for you to scare me this early in the morning. A quarter of my stocks are with them. Meanie
