Not digging the rear. trying to hard to make it look like the Panamera fits in the Porsche family.

Porsche has the new Cayman up on their website.

As an owner, sometimes you just have to love Porsche for the incremental upgrades. I'm sure this car is better in all sorts of ways than mine, but I'm still satisfied and happy. Personally, I like the new look, don't much like the more crowded interior, and I'm sure it's faster. But I'm good with what I've got.

That city shot is kinda nice.
What color do we think that is?

Unfortunately on the front they still kept the funny round fogs in the right/left intakes.....those gotta go.

I think it looks spectacular but....
I can't stop staring at that horizontal join ahead of the rear wheel arch. I breaks up a beautiful blended curve on that 3/4 panel. It also shouts that the lower panel isn't metal but is plastic.
Only fly in the ointment IMHO.

Back end looks awkward with the carryover styling. Bottom line, no where near as good looking at the new Boxster.

The back looks like a squashed Pani.

I would have to agree, even though I will have to make my final decision when I see it in person.

I'm guessing Agate Grey Metallic. I like it. Think they had the same colour at the LA show launch

I like that even the "base" motor puts out 100hp/liter (2.7l, 275 hp!) - shame the Boxster motor doesn't .. silly marketing.

I like it, even the rather odd rear end. Definitely worth a test drive
