As if 2 totally opposite cars from different decades were fused together, like those custom limos.
My brain simply can't reconcile it,

I know what you mean. The ends do seem mismatched, and the whole car looks like supercooled liquid, especially without rub-rails down the sides. Older ones look downright homely with skinny phone dials, or manhole covers.
I swapped the 986/996 wheels to it off my other car for a while, and then the more I saw it, the more the styling grew on me. It brings the car forward by at least a decade, and looks much more modern. Deeper offset rear wheels compensate for the narrow rear track, and visually add width to what used to look like too much car, on too small of a rear axle.
