Hahaha! Already there are two extreme opinions of this museum! People either appreciate Porsche's evolution in design...or hate it due to a lack of revolutionary change in the design. I am more in line with the former...and will definitely be driving down to Stuttgart on my next business trip to Frankfurt!

I love the 911 design, i wish to high lord, the design for the most part stays the same and true Porsche loyalists who are constantly being born will wish it the same.

I toured the old museum in 1995. It is small and unable to display all of the significant cars that they had. It was also sparse, pretty much a building with cars in it. The new museum looks fantastic! Porsche boring? Joe, your automotive ignorane is showing. Clearly you do now know the history of Porsche the company nor it's founder Ferdinad Porsche. You should research Porshce's (company and man) accomplishments, both on road going vehicles and racing and then you will appreciate what there is to see in the museum

Now everyone can finally see how porsche has evolved from a bug to a classier bug that has turbos.

There is a film already in a online magazin called Oldtimer-TV.com You really get a fantastic impression like a walk through the museum. Regards Renner

amazing piece of architecture here. Very plain and simple inside of the building makes your sight concentrating on the cars. I really like it.

Porsche has enough mony to build a $100,000,000+ museum while GM has to sell cars in its collection just to raise capital to stay afloat. We're seeing the true cost of hubris now....
