I think Porsche makes what I believe to be the most indistinguishable line up of any car company. Minus their Panamera, Cayenne, and Carrera GT, the rest of their line up looks about the same from 1 another.

The names don't help: 911, Cayman, GT3, GT, RS, this, that, and the sink.

I think Lamborghini would take a close second, with their SV, Balboni, 640, 650, oh god, numbers....

i don't like the exhaust tips. it doesn't really match the car.
the tips from the turbo match the overall look of the car though.

The first factory ducktail since '73.. and resurrected Fuchs wheels. nice.

The lineup may be indistinguishable, but that is the point: A Porsche is always recognizable as a Porsche.

but this took a few seconds.

Yea, maybe that sounds good on paper. A dump truck will always look like a dump truck, and a dog will always look like a dog. Since when does instant recognition have anything to do with how attractive a car is? Their designs are dated.

I'm just thinking aloud. IMO, Porsche needs a revolution, instead of an evolution in the looks department for their 2 door rockets. That's just me though. I'm sure some will disagree.

Wtf... designs are dated? Those classic lines will never be dated, and I'll drool over it while other cars revolutionize themselves and become uglier each time.

Those rims look nice on a 70s 911, but on a 997, somehow it looks out of place. The ducktail and horrid color does not help either.

STFU! if you dont know how to appreciate something, we dont need your useless comments and it ruins the thread. a Porsche will always be recognized easily as a Porsche, no need for an evolution

If porshe re-invented their design like they did the Carrera GT everyone who could afford $150k cars would start buying them guaranteed.
Don't get me wrong I'm still gonna buy a Gt2Rs or GT3 RS because these cars performance is unparalled. J.Clarkson who hated porshes is on the bandwagon because of the GT3 RS
