German automaker Porsche is putting its Taycan Cross Turismo through its paces in final testing<\/a> before it goes on sale next year. It sounds like everything is going well, but one thing is bothering me, well, it\u2019s not one thing, it\u2019s the entire thing.<\/p>\n

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo seems more confused than a chameleon at a carnival.<\/p>\n

First off, is its name. The Taycan part makes sense. It\u2019s what Porsche called its high-performance EV, so that needs no explaining. This car is also an EV. I think you\u2019re following.<\/p>\n

The Cross Turismo bit, that\u2019s more of a head-scratcher. It seems Porsche is designing this version of the Taycan for light off-roading and for those that want to travel further afield \u2014 that explains the Cross and Turismo part.<\/p>\n

Ok, so that\u2019s not totally insane. Especially considering the current Taycan is very much a performance oriented vehicle.<\/p>\n

But then we get to how it looks. Seriously, just look at the thing.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a>The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is\u2026 I don\u2019t know what it is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Is it a fast-back, a station wagon, a shooting brake? I can\u2019t quite put my finger on it, so let\u2019s just say that it\u2019s all three. According to Porsche though, it\u2019s a CUV (cross utility vehicle). The company says it\u2019s raised its suspension and even fitted it with a special driving mode for gravel, and so that qualifies it to be classed as some kind of crossover.<\/p>\n

Whatever class of vehicle it\u2019s in, it\u2019s still kinda ugly. Despite Porsche being responsible for some of the world\u2019s most iconic designs, the Taycan Cross Turismo doesn\u2019t appear to be one of them\u2026 yet.<\/p>\n
