Umm ... need time to digest it. It isn't bad but I always hate "ALL" german press release photoshoots. Damn cheap

Interior is something I am familiar with though ... Rennteam members are generally disliking the luxurious feel of it, some say it feels like an Audi. I think it is a nice blend of luxury and sportiness. Wheels are really flat, I hate flat design wheels, I love concave or "dish" designed wheels. Gives the car a wider stance ..
 
Sayyaaf all german photoshoots are bland.

I like the Aston Martin Press Releases. Don't get why the Germans can't add some excitement to their photos.
 
The push/pull rocker buttons are actually not a bad idea from an engineering and ergonomical perspective. Though they may not be the most intuitive, they allow you to drive with one hand and switch gears if you want do.
 
The back is one of the sexiest of the entire 911 lineage, the front however is a bit of a letdown, the small alterations made from the 997 facia are for the worse.
 
I don't know why I thought this car was going to look OUTRAGEOUSLY different from the previous one or at least SUBSTANTIALLY different.

Now that these pictures are coming out, it looks rather...the same, just an evolutionary upgrade/facelift. I think the rear is noticeable wider. Nice nonetheless, just was expecting more of a zing.

I love the rear. So in tune with current Porsche styling, but very well resolved and very beautiful.

9/10
 
I like it, eventhough not really a "911 Design" fan. This shows how beautiful the new Cayman will be. By the way now there is alot of writing on the rear: "911 Carrera S".
 
Yup, those look pretty legit to me.


Thats the only pimple, there is no need to stamp Porsche across the back of a 911.

I was thinking the same thing . We all know it is a damn Porsche and the name...it just doesn't look all that well.
 
My only complain would be the rear lights, sort of too slim making the rear bumper look a bit too bland and empty. Otherwise, I think it looks very "911" - a proper evolution - at least as far as the exterior goes. The interior on the other hand completely breaks tradition. It sure looks nice, but too luxurious and not the "form follows function" of the past 911 interiors. Hope fully for the GT versions they will do something to make it more sporty.
 
This people is a classic car it features nothing that signifies our time of over thought designs, gimmicks, flame surfacing and other attributes. You would be pressed for energy finding such an untainted design. My favourite detail are the protruding headlights which give the car a slight vintage touch. To me the car is perfect, especially in the photo of the car in silver. It's a canvas to which you can add your favourite colour, black rims, after market body kit or wait for the Turbo. And we have yet to see it all. The recent spy shots. Of the black mule had me giggling last night. On the roads the car will have the same imposing and frightening presence ad the Panamera.

And oh, that beige interior does not suit the car. All black or space grey thank you. Brilliant ass too, the slim lights make the rear stand out more and let tail gating drivers know that there is a menacing power plant behind the rear axel.
 
Interior looks similar to the Panamera.

The real car, 100%.

Love the front, like the side and have to get used to the rear. Interior looks good too.
There some really nice details, like the headlights as described by Centurion, and I really like the shape and position of the fog lights too.

I don't like the color of the interior of the press shots, I DON'T like all those letters on the back, and I don't like the shape of the back bumper

More please, but thanks for finally showing the car.
 
The high-res pictures remove any doubt. The original ones with Rennteam plastered all over them looked heavily touched up - particularly around the edges of the car vs the background. I can't believe that Porsche persisted with those lousy PDK switches on the steering wheel. Oh wait, of course they did - proper paddles are obviously an intrinsic component of the gazillion buck options list.

Absolutely love the "new" shape and 95% of the exterior and interior styling details. Rear lights look fresh and fabulous. Don't care much for the overly cluttered nomenclature on the back. Hideous steering wheel.
