Obviously I'm biased, but for me the only "real" Porsches are the 356, 550, 911 and the Boxster. I know the Boxster is a derivative (parts-wise) of 911s, people forget what kind of impact it made when it was a concept. It will go down as a classic in 25 years...

924s, 928s, 944s, Cayennes, Caymans (aka Boxster hardtop - so it doesn't count), Panamera, etc. are all Porsche's attempts at making a little extra $$, not to win races.

944 turbos were amoung the fastest most capable cars in the world in thier day.

I like the coup version of the Panamera

944 is still not a real Porsche to me. I left off the 914 as well... garbage. The rear of the Panamera looks really unresolved. The Merc CLS looks MUCH better IMO.
