The car itself is really nice but I think I would like it much better if it was a different color with a different interior. I also prefer bigger cards due to the space.

I personally love this car. However I do agree I don't like the exterior color. I like black cars myself.

I love the Porsche and it a really cool car but realistically, can the average man or woman afford it. It is way overpriced and is not at all practical. Just the insurance on one can break your budget. This is purely a dream car. But with that said, it is sweet and I am one who does like the color.

An average man or woman can't afford it I don't think in todays society. It was built for Doctors and lawyers as their car.

I've never really liked porches that much. The round headlights never really went well with this century, they seem too old fashioned. Its not the 1970's lol.

That's impressive no doubt. I think I'd prefer the GT3 RS, just because it seems like a serious racer instead of a status symbol. I'm really interested to see how the upcoming ZR1 will go against this thing. Those numbers are pretty good up there.
