The Cayenne key was also shaped sort of like the Cayenne.


That centerstack is waayyyyy too busy for me.

While I agree that's a ton of buttons on the center stack, I like it!

I think this 4 door Porsche has a lot going on with it especially under the hood. So why not carry that to the inside with all the buttons and the busy look of the center stack with a touch screen?.

For this type of car I like this better then the single **** setups (aka iDrive, Command, MMI)

The interior is too busy IMO, the styling reminds me of Virtu phones.

Yea, it does have a million and one buttons, but I think it looks freakin cool as heck!! Seems like the exterior wont match though.

Actually I think the interior is really cool despite all those buttons, & yes, I want it to feel like a jet cockpit

Interesting key, but the dash looks too cluttered to me with all the buttons. Not very sleek looking.

Car will be a HUGE hit again for Porsche, despite the naysayers.
