Exactly. All their styling of these things during the 2000s is the same: Take a picture of a 996/997, give it to a 12 year old with a Photoshop program, stretch a bit here, make taller there, add a few doors, and voila, you have a sedan. Or an SUV. Or whatever.

That 4 door sedan is horrible. It is not only ugly, but it is a stupid idea trying to make a giant front engined sedan look like a rear engined sports car. Pure styling gimmickry.

Porsche exploits the history of the 911 too much. If they want to make a 4 door sedan, they should make a groundbreaking car, which looks to the future. Not some goofy retro derivative-mobile.
