Re: OT: Porsche 911 (991) Targa
In Response To: OT: Porsche 911 (991) Targa ()

I can not understand the meaning of this car:
The 996/997 targas had a rear window to open, ideal to load the rear parcel with baggages + glass roof meant a lot of light in the cabin which made it very friendly.
The new targa lost the practical side of the pervious models (not to mention the delete of the rear seats) and also the friendly sunny side. All we have is a retro look smelling for sweat.

This mix of modern and retro is way too much IMHO, would say overkill in design. The old law is still working: less is more.

As I saw the first pics about the test cars I was afraid it won't be working and only hoping that Porsche Design can find a nice soluton, but I have to admit this challenge was too big for them. Sorry for it...
