I simply can't agree with the designer's comments, what a thing to say! He redeems himself somewhat in the last sentence though
'<span class="defaultfont" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 6px; WIDTH: 100%; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f7f7f7"> The 2006 Porsche Cayman’s designer says there are lots of beautiful cars on the road, and is first to admit that this is not one of them.[/quote]
“There are lots of beautiful cars,” says Matthias Kulla, who led the 2006 Porsche Cayman design team. He admits that the Cayman S isn’t one of them. The roof’s profile seems a little too thick, the rear fenders too high and the functional vents just fore of the rear wheels a little awkward. “But,” he says, “we weren’t trying to build the most beautiful car, but the most emotional…the most memorable.”
In that he succeeds. Once the initial shock of this unusual Porsche has worn off, the Cayman takes on its own identity. It grows on you, especially when you watch it move. It, like a skilled athlete in top form, becomes beautiful.'
