Problem at Porsche is the people who engineer/design the cars probably want to kill the people who market them.
Anyway here goes my 2x4-swinging critique:
Nav system is an abomination: fix it. Yeah it's "ok" but it stinks for when the driver is driving. Yeah, you're supposed to pull over to fiddle with it but who does?
No more functionless BS poser trim (quads, 19s, SC etc).
Get rid of trendy pointy tailights. Get rid of trendy slanted body panel line under taillights.
Quit designing wheels which are "screwy;" TT and Lobster wheels still seem odd, and hard to get used to.
Get rid of wart on dash: end it!
Eliminate useless messy button-age on center console: looks like a frickin' cop car! Nice leather and everything but nothing beautiful about the PCM.
Speaking of leather: waaaaay too much stitching: we get it, yes..., it's leather..., okay..., enough with the stitching..., Geez!
Cheap stock sun visors make my passengers laugh when I point them out! End those Kia-inspired visors on a us$100k car.
Seat belt warning chime should STFU after ONE minute.
Put a frickin spare in the car; add five more HP to the engine if you want. If someone dislikes the extra weight (3% of guys who buy) they can remove the spare themselves!
Take care of that ridiculous Speedometer: do something interesting with it.
Guages? REmove all the "twos" all the incremental lines between the numerals. Just like the old days. 997/998 is supposed to resemble the classic 911 right? THERE'S a painless way to accomplish that.
LESSEN THE BIZZY INTERIOR! Too many materials, panels, lines, textures, trims, grilles, shapes, interruptions, in the interior, It only looks "simple and functional" when the interior is black, for God's sake.
Want More?
I gotta truck load. Tell ya what Porsche, pay my way out (first class seat, hotel, call girl) and I'll criticize the cr*p outta the cars. If it's NOT informative and entertaining I'll be happy to reimburse all funds.
This was fun! I have a hangover; last night was wild. Sorry if this sounds bitchy and ragged; remember it's just a hobby.
