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. |

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.
