Subtle but still HOT!

I actually think they made the back worse with those taillights. They look aftermarket.

I'm just getting fed up with Porsche full stop. Yeah the turbo looks great, but as a whole their model range is getting very boring in terms of design. I mean, put the new M3 next to the turbo and you will see what I mean. Most manufacturers are moving ahead in design, but Porsche isnt progressing at all.

Yup I like the original much more.
But still much

KonigsTiger · 04-10-2008, 01:43 PM

Like the front, don´t like the rear lights. Changes? I don´t know, I sort of like it that they stick to tradition but always improve technology and performance.

FirstClass · 04-10-2008, 01:47 PM

It looks different?

The funny thing is, I seen a chop of what the Panamera could look like. It's an old Huckfeldt chop. I wish he was right because it's STUNNING! I think the rear end is a perfect new direction for the rear end of Porsches...

Looking at it though it does look Aston-Martin-ish with the shape of the bootlid! However, it's still proof that Porsche could move on if they wanted to. Man just look at the chops:

Year's_End · 04-10-2008, 02:15 PM

Porsche needs to hire that Huckfeldt chap pronto! That thing is amazing! Hah, I even spotted some 6 series that was chopped into the lower picture: look at the door shape.

Oh yeah!

Yeah man the guy is great. Just Google Image him as see all beauties he's made. Sometimes I dont always agree with his designs but the quality is always top-notch and he usually predicts things right!

KonigsTiger · 04-10-2008, 02:31 PM

That Panamera looks good. Too bad its not a 2 door.

Zeiss · 04-10-2008, 07:32 PM

LED will look amazing!

vladinecko · 04-10-2008, 07:35 PM

can someone point out the differences? i can't tell...

KonigsTiger · 04-10-2008, 08:07 PM

Yep, LEDs looks great!

Well in this pic it looks slightly improved. There are subtle tweaks that seem to work from this angle. I guess this'll be one of those "see it in person" type things, just like with the pre/post-fl 5 series. Such a big difference in person.

karliejai · 04-13-2008, 03:53 AM

cant tell much difference either.

KonigsTiger · 04-13-2008, 04:07 PM

Porsche is always very subtle with there changes. I like that!! You're car never really gets old that way.

ejazbmw · 04-13-2008, 04:20 PM

i rather have a fast car then a nice car lol i think thats how porsche sees things....i don't think there ugly by any means there actually really nice, but i think Porsche is neat in the fact that they don't really care about all these fancy designs things like most sports cars today,and they rather make great engines.

Corsis · 04-13-2008, 04:39 PM

Big change Porsche!

Seriously though, from Porsche's Point of view, why mess with perfection.

I really dont mind the subtle generational changes, its just enough to keep the car looking modern but stays within its 911 classic look.
