    At first I was thinking that it's just a test mule too, which it of course can be. But it's not entirely uncovered, the rear side windows look ugly because of the masks, and I think there's some more covers on the rear end. Obviously a lot of details can still change but I believe the basic form of the body is what we see here (bigger image).

    If you look closely at that, it's definately disguised, just more cleverly than other car companies do. It's definately covered in cladding, unless Porsche has gone down an interesting road in panel construction, i.e sucking at it.

    If you remove that top rear part that bulges up, then you get the shape of the 997, with 4 doors.

    I posted this a day ago and it got deleted. I don't know why... but I think it's crap too, so you're not the only one.

    I am sure the car would look much much better…they conceal the car so people would'nt know the real style until they launch it.

    if they only made sports cars, porsche would have gone under years ago. That's why they built the Cayenne. To keep bringing you expensive sports cars
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    That's a little pathetic that you'd base the way you feel about a marque on one car of which the design isn't even final yet, when the rest of their model range is unarguably amazing (Cayenne aside maybe).

    If you look closely at the rear window, you will spot its real design. It's covered in black and doesn't correspond to the horrible chrome around it. Take a close look. About the rest it's a Carrera GT front and a CLS' back, this one being clearly 911 inspired...

    They were already making money before the Cayenne.
