That's a "modern" take on a 968. It has elements cribbed from the current Panamera/911.

Nice enough looking car, but idk why Porsche would build a new 968. The "new" 928, which would basically just be a Panamera coupe, makes a lot more sense, but even that posits the existence of a market for expensive coupes that I am not sure actually exists. Plus, it's not clear how much distance there would be between that car and the current 911.

No wonder it looks so much better than the standard 968. I agree they don't need to make their lineup any more convicted, unless the 928 was based on the taycan platform

I would buy a compact four-door hatchback Porsche, priced in the Macan range.

Like a lowered Macan...

Panamera is too big for my tastes...

Awesome car and almost got the A5 sportback when I replaced my A6 but ended up with the 540.

Having lived with my daughters 2 A4’s (2017 and 2018) and I am only mentioning the years so you know i’m referring to the current model ...they are awesome... I took the 2018 on a few road trips one to the autotrain to bring it from NY to Florida and also a trip to Cortland which was a 4 hour drive ... these cars are awesome....

Completely comfortable, very sporty and have a great engine and chassis.

Yeah I love the a5/s5 as well. There’s a blue s5 sport back in my neighborhood that I always admire.

I am in o'hare right now and saw this 944 (guessing in a crew lot) and thought it looked so period correct with the blue porsche on the windshield, the big logo on the front fender, etc. So 80s. It was cool.
