I wonder how porsche does it that every car looks different but still like a Porsche.

I mean more like with other car manufacturers.

"Looking at how other luxury marques are having success selling front engine sports coupe models"

What success ? Porsche is selling about 35000 cars a year, Ferrari sold 5,026 cars and Aston Martin sold in its "Best year ever" (2008) 1500 cars…

Possibly Ferrari and Aston Martin should start develop rear engine cars…

Paul?? i do not think the aston martin or the 599 Fioranos are operating a front wheel drive system. They are just front engine but rear wheel drive.

Thats Porsche for you.

If it didn't look like a Porsche, it would just be a VW.

Now, they wouldn't want that would they.

A victim of thier own success…..front engined Porsches never quite took off (924,944,968, 928…).

FR setup is fine. But really they need to get over with the design…

It would be wrong to use the term "front-wheel drive" in this context.

Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive (FR) is more appropriate.

Imagine a "front-wheel drive" car with 600+ hp. Horrendous torque steer I would imagine.
