Oh my! That looks like a hopped up 4-door 996 with a giant lift kit!!

Yikes!

I see Porsche is making only one front for all 3 of their cars now.

 

they stated they were changing up the Carreras front end this next year because there was little difference in the front end of the Boxster's and the Carreras.

I am not sure I like it either - then again, its probably some photoshopped job. Porche will have their performance - 0-60 in 5 seconds flat? that will kick our little four cylinders - and most likely, more consistently.

But my favorite SUV - its still one of the later editions of the Lambos, the LM002's through 004's. Ugly you might say? But they have gun mount options =D

 

Naming an SUV after a pepper?

 

Hey, better a pepper than an obstetrician's tool (Ford Probe).

 

Did I ever tell you guys about a guy I used to work w/who drove a pink Probe... seriously

 

And just where did he put this probe when nobody was looking?

 

All I can say is that Porche is just a real sellout. All they've done before this were pure sports cars, no luxury cars or sedans and now they're giving into the SUV fad?

All they need is a chassis and some interior parts. I bet the powertrain and AWD are borrowed from their 911.

 

Pure blasphemy!

 

Personally, I think that Porsches should be cushy luxury cars. I find it annoying that they spent so long in between being luxurious and being sparse. Pick a direction and go. Also, they still make the GT line if leather bugs you.

How is a car company offering more choices ever a bad thing?
