@brandegee, @cgates1: I've seen worse. Much worse.

I think it's a pretty but dumb car that could be so much more - for example, if it was a Cayman, with a fancy undertray, rear diffuser and LSD.

Hanging the engine out back is objectively worse over most driving regimes (it's probably better under braking because the rear wheels can be used more effectively) and Porsche knows it.

Why does the gt3 rs get the wild paint treatment, and this is so boring? GT2rs?!?! A silver with orange (and orange wheels) gt3rs always shows up at the track, and that's what a flagship track car should look like.

I want one now! I agree, the wrong color... but black is the worst color for a Porsche... Porsches should be white or any bright color.

Silver's the wrong color for this mayhem-mobile. A dark red or black is more appropriate, and will help hide that ugly wing out back.

Oh god if I had a car like that, no food, drink, smoking, crumbs, or anything else would ever come near it. I'd have a whole separate car for hitting the drive through or grocery shopping. Want.

yes, yes that is nice, but how many cup holders and burger trays does it have to appeal to your average NA fatty?
