    Step 1: Tease devoted Jalops with Cayman shape altered to alienates even clown shoe pilots.
    Step 2: Release 928 successor with similar shape on Panamera platform instead, to the relief of most and the dismay of a few.
    Step 3: Profit.

    Sorry, it's not real. Note the pixelation around the rear window curve and smoothness and absence of noise around the entire rear window. This is an obvious pshop job. But I like it!

    Interesting idea, perhaps just a design study, at best a Euro-only off-shoot of the Cayman.
    I mean, they already build a big SUV, what more can go wrong?

    Even though it's horrendously ugly... I like the way it looks. More like the original beetle than the new one.

    @FBJ:
    Beware, that's the slippery slope.
    Once in the early '90s I said almost the same thing ("That's fugly, but I kind of like it") about an Isuzu Impulse RS, and before you knew it, I had developed a serious fetish for FUGLY cars. (I could try to redeem myself by saying the "F" is for Fast, but...)
    Since that day I've owned and admired a long string of oddball, questionable, or downright ugly cars, and I've loved every single one of them.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: There was a Jensen GT for sale not all that far from me last year. Brown color, not in very good shape though. If it weren't for the crazy maintenance requirements on the engine I might have got it to compliment my other Shooting Break. I love the looks of them because the car is so curvaceous and classic while the hatch is so... 80s Peugeot wagon?

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Wow, I knew they were rare but not *that* rare. It was in the Tacoma area, I'll see if I can find the craigslist post or something.

    @bennetpullen drives a banana: Seems low to me too. Maybe that's for one of the years they were produced, which weren't too many, either. There are some web sites around dedicated to Jensens with a lot more info if you go digging.
    Too bad they were introduced right when safety and emissions regs were croaking everything. I always liked the J-H, but when you got down to it, they seemed to be too exotic without quite enough payback.

    I can't tell if I like this yet.
    As a Z3 M Coupe fan-since-inception and (finally) owner, I'm probably genetically predisposed to digging the idea of it, but the shape is just not quite right. Also, from the mule shots from a month ago it looks like they might have failed at the "make the rear area useful" part of the equation in that any hatch would be uselessly small - a major complaint I had w/ my RX-8.
    Real or not, in another couple years I'll take the shoe off daily driver duty and probably get a not-nearly-so-rare Porsche Cayman to take over as the daily. If this thing exists by then I'll certainly LOOK at it.

    Love the idea, hate this concept. The wagonification is at odds with the Cayman's terrific rear fenders. Kind of like Eva Longoria with a couple of frumpy sweaters tied around her waist
