while i said the same thing about Aston to tofu, in fairness, We
have to look at RECENT porsche design evolution. From the 996 to
the 997, the cars are basically alike from the outside, with the
exception of a few differences.
Honestly they haven't been trying very hard to evolve the look.
Heritage can only go so far to explain a slack off in design
innovation. Look at the way the 430 evolved from the 360. Obviously
ferrari, but hardly alike. Look at the old SL and current gen SL. I
can say the same thing. The Diablo and the Murcielago don't look
like each other even tho they're unmistakably Lambos.
On the other hand, looking at the 996 and 997 from the rear,
without a detailed examination, you'd be hard pressed to tell me
which one's a 996 and which one's a 997. Ditto that for the 2
generations of Boxsters. Even aston, with its remarkably similiar
design, I can still tell the difference between models. and u won't
mistake a current gen aston with a previous gen one. the same,
cannot be said of the last 2 generations of porsche models.
No matter what justifications they give for the non-movement in
design, u cannot say it's not true that they've been somewhat lazy.
As an automotive and motorsport engineering student who has to
cover BOTH aesthetic design AND engineering design, I have to say
that while u've raised valid points, u've missed out on the fact
that many other companies do not let heritage and identity
stangnate their design evolutions.
