    In reply to 12-Year-Old Kid Breaks Down Porsche's 2013 Lineup
    Great effort! But I doubt the lineup will resemble that, unless you really, really know something Jalopnik doesn't.

    In my head, the lineup wouldn't have more than 2 variants of the Boxster and Cayman each (allow for special editions, of course), 911 lineup is the same as ever, Cayenne will stick around and the lineup makes a great deal of sense,

    BUT THAT MANY PANAMERAS? I highly doubt there will be a two-door one, or a cabriolet as an extension of that. I think it's going to be Panamera, 4, S, 4S, Turbo, Hybrid, and Diesel.

    My logic is that Porsche is owned by VW now (IIRC) so won't be filling every niche they can. Said niches are also way to small to fill profitably, and there's too much overlap with 911 etc.

    In reply to Searching for Art in the Porsche 911
    What defines art?

    When does a photograph, film, sound clip, drawing, doodle, sculpture or creation cross that magical threshold and become art?

    Well, to me, art needs to communicate, in whatever medium, to the subject's emotions. In this internet day and age, however, photos of even supercars are no longer rare and can barely stir me. However, each time a Lamborghini flies past, a Porsche speeds away, or a Ferrari roars forward, my heart flutters a little, my blood pressure increases a little, and my eyes go wide a little.

    That said, a photo taken of any car in the right circumstances, can, and often do, affect my emotions they way only art can. Be it a photo of a Porsche at the Ring, a Can-Am car at the Corkscrew, or an endless, lonely road with a lone muscle car powering towards the horizon (a la Vanishing Point), they definitely make me feel a little better about being alive. Provocative imagery needs to inspire dreams, and photos of cars can do just that: what is more fascinating than a journey, in that car, to wherever your heart takes you.

    When I was twelve, I spent all my time mentally building custom cars out of the stuff listed in the J.C. Whitney catalog. Unfortunately, we didn't have Photoshop back then, so all that data disappeared when I discovered girls and lost my mind.

    Kid or not, he looks to be pretty accurate. Not sure all those variants will be in the US market.

    The next gen Cayenne will likely have a face closer to the Panamera, including the current hood detail.

    If it's a real kid, he's bringing a lot to the party. Hopefully, he isn't full of crap.

    Also if it's a real kid, when he gets out of school he's probably going to be in the car biz, if he's really into the analysis this much.

    At twelve years old, shouldn't he be starting to notice those things that walk around with long hair and wear skirts?

    Get the documentary camera, folks, we have the opportunity to document a rare case study of a pre-adolescent dragon.

    He seems to be including paint as a viable option, I think Robert Williams does a great job depicting how certain cars feel.
