The "Porsche" look is as appealing as it always has been. Interestingly though, Porsche's real genius is the engineering over the years that has gone into overcoming what is inherently an AWFUL idea, ie: putting the engine not only in the back but as faaaaaar back as possible. The transfer of weight when handling creates some real messes. Over the years they've done some wacked out things, including loading up the front with lead. Now they are more sophisticated but it is still an ongoing battle. The BBC show "Top Gear" has some good footage if you are interested on Youtube. Well you are right about that.
