Well tbh you can have design continuity and then you have porsche. They're taking it to the extreme.
It wouldn't be a porsche if it didn't have that headlight design. It's iconic. It would be like if ferrari all of a sudden stopped painting their cars red. It just wouldn't look right.
they don't understand these things

hey lets get rid of what people recognise our cars for

look at Aston Martin and their front grills, same thing

Ive seen plenty of non red ferraris. Color is a customers choice, the headlights are not. Better example next time (like aston martins grill)

i think he meant Ferrari not offering Rosso Corsa paint, look at how many F430's are red

Yes, they come in black, red, yellow and white etc. Doesn't change the fact that their F1 teams colors are Ferrari Red (Rosso corsa, I learned something new!). It's their iconic color.

I'm not saying the porsche design is superior, I'm saying that it's the design that people are comfortable with. It is exceedingly difficult to create a brand, especially one that is recognized by nearly every household on the planet. Throwing that away for modern visual updates would be silly.

There are certain cases of design contuinity i actually like, such as aston martins grill which has been mentioned twice already and the general shape of lamborghini's. And theres many more...

That's fine. Everyone has their own taste. I don't like Porches because they are too small. I'd rather spend that kind of money on a Benz sedan.

Never really loved audi's (still dont) until they made that one.

I make most bikes look small. Ducati's are just way too small for me. It would look like I was riding a mini-bike.

Your mother probably looks like you. No bumpage for her.
