The Autofiends theme is “no boring cars.” My personal taste is even more extreme, limiting my enthusiasm about most new cars to the seriously weird or rare (or Italian). That’s why the new Panamera is unenthralling. It’s a very lazy design job, the same way the Cayenne is. I’d argue that both are merely the [...]

Perhaps you know that back in the late 1960s, Porsche was hoping to kill the 911. They were going to move into mid-front mounted engines, with the 4-cylinder 924 and 8-cylinder 928. And since both of those cars — as well as the 944 — saw some success in the 1980s, Porsche considered a 4-door [...]

This is of course why I was especially impressed today when I encountered this monster lumbering eastward on the 10. I [...]
