Epic fail of the century. Perhaps Paramount Fail of the Human Race.

Looks super hot until you get to the C pillar where it's demise begins. Awful, awful. Looks like an attempt to sexify the hearst.

+1 that half assed attempt makes it look terrible. Why bother adding the hatch if it just makes it look terrible? Very few 5 door hatches look good, the Mazda 6 5 door was good.

I think it's a winner.

When has Porsche ever done anything conventionally?

The higher 'end' means at least people in the back have decent head room and there will be more cargo space in back.

Is it a 5 door? Sure hope so!

one porsche i would not buy. just because of that rear hatch. Why couldn't they just have gone with a conventional back. If i had money and porsche did this right, i wouldn't even condider the ls, s class, or 7 series. This and the quattrapotre (s/p)would be the only two

People said the same about the 911, 914, 928, 944, Boxster, Cayenne, and Cayman. Guess what, they all did great.
