Yeah, I realize that it's going to be a large car no matter what. My hopes were just that it won't be heinously gigantic.

Doesn't that have the 3800V6 and weigh like 3600Lbs? Much like the LeSabre I'm driving.

Normal Bonnevilles do, correct. I drive a limited-edition Auto-X-Bonneville though.

It looks pretty cool with Carrera GT wheels.

No seriously, I like the concept, but would they make it faster than the Turbo?

Sounds like it makes no sense, but the way they were wording the article it looks like it will be Porsche's new halo car.

(In reference to the to the first picture) The rear looks a bit out of place, seems too angular in comparison to the front's curvaceousness.

Those image editors / creators are amazing. The designs they come up are frequently very gorgeous. If the 928 looks like that (I read about it in R&T), it should do fine. And as for the weight, it IS a Porsche. They like light things usually. And I think it will be really sweet for Porsche to have a GT again. They will have quite the lineup by then, hopefully the next gen supercar too.

i read the exact article a few days ago
hope thay make
but i hope it doesn't looks so extravagant
as long as the only thing that's similar with cayenne is a badge and engine then it'll be pretty nice
i hope its not continental gt-ish with too much bulk
i'm hoping for a supercharged engine

now all they need is a new 914 and 944/924
and they should get rid of cayenne and panamera

That's because it's a chop, as has been mentioned earlier. I think exige mentioned it was a DB9 rear earlier on.

A new 944 would be sweet. I am deeply divided over the last 944. I hate and love it. But it is the Porsche that I want to buy in my mid-twenties, no matter how unrealistic this is, as it runs for under $20K CDN.
