Just got back from SXSW in Austin and while I was there I popped by the Porsche Collaboration stand (mostly it’s about the 964 RS in the new Transformers movie) but took some pics of the other cars they had there too.

Re: Porsche @ SXSW
Thanks for posting - what did you think of the 357 concept in the flesh?
Re: Porsche @ SXSW
Hey Jeremy,
It had a presence for sure, but was completely out shone by the other cars (and the film starts) which is a shame... I think it has a really nice silhouette and I feel shares a lot of 356 DNA (its tiny too) but I don't think its obviouse where its design heritage comes from — unlike the Mini One, or the new beetle (not the current version) they both did (in my opinion) excellent jobs of revisiting and refreshing the iconic design, this one felt 2 or 3 iterations to far.
It was still a very pretty little car.

Looks better in those pics than the others I saw and would imagine better in the flesh - something just doesn't gel for me - it looks a bit to rotund and squished - bit like me
