What a beauty. Looks good without the roof rails. Knowing Porsche is probably a 12K option, plus an extra 2K if you want it body colored.
Gives off Aston Martin Zagato vibes too. I think that's why I really like it. |

Looks nice except for the plastic wheel arches.
I didn't read or watch. Does it have a raise/lower (air) suspension? |

According to Remove Before Race (Mr. AMG) a regular Sport Turismo variant is on the way, although US availability is unconfirmed at the moment.

Two door versions are coming in the form of the 718 Cayman and Boxster. Porsche has confirmed that the next 718 will be all electric, as will be the next Macan.

Im sure that will look hot but I dont see pcar fans buying into it.... For me, sound is 50% the experience of a sports car/sedan and I have no desire for anything less. I couldnt care less about instant torque, without the roar of the engine thru the powertrain and out the exhaust, it really doesnt matter the performance....the sound is what makes driving fun to me. Maybe this is how Porsche gets rid of the 718 because who is buying a silent sportscar?? |

Love it. Very nice design (I like the Panamera Sport Turismo as well so I knew I would like this look).

Agree, Porsche knows how to design a sexy (albeit not so practical) wagon, whether its the Panny or the Taycan. I'm surprised they are bringing this to the US though considering how poorly Panny ST's sell here and how long they sit on lots.

Not very surprising, the Panny Sport Turismo is similar, with as much space as a Macan out back, but the benefit for this shape is mainly the packaging as well as the ability to transport larger/taller items rather than the sedan's smaller opening, as well as being able to transport pets in the hatch without needing to go to an SUV. Its definitely a niche product.
