...Pretty car, but as has been mentioned many times before, gone for ever
is the small, squat, nimble and slightly menancing stance of the 993/996/
997 Porsches.
This ''new'' model is so very much wider and longer, with a large chunk of
the extra length in there for rear passengers...rear passengers !...what is
that all about ?.
Pure GT car...no longer a sports car, who knows what that will mean for the
GT cars to follow...

That aside, I like it and it's growing on me by the day, looking forward to seeing one in the flesh and and even sitting in/driving one.
Need to find out when they're coming to Japan....for sure they'll snap them up here. _________________ 964 C2 1990

It looks amazing, only if I had that much spare cash!!
If I was to criticize it I would say front small light somehow don't look rite given the air vents, perhaps if they ended aligned, but still, great car.

Thanks Doc, these shots do the car justice! The more I see, the more I'm convinced it's a beauty. Should be a quite a looker in the metal _________________ "Got paper, you understand?"

It started on Saturday with some GTS window shopping, then yesterday I regressed even further, my faith in water cooling and residuals shaken by the the new breed, I spent some time perusing 993 Turbos.
At least they look like a 911.

+1.
I almost want to set up an online poll to see just how many people out there would like air cooling and smaller dimensions back - and sharing the feedback with Porsche. _________________ "Got paper, you understand?"

Just wondering whether the convertable will have a folding hard top or will it still be canvas, anyone know?
Seems to be popular with german cars now, and the extra length might accomodate this.

You have offended no one. This is a forum/thread where free speech and opinions are valued on such an important matter.
btw ...I shared some pics of the 991 with people I was with on Sunday and only one out of four though it looked better than the 997. I keep telling myself not to worry as it will look great in real life but I am increasingly worried about the 911 concept under VAG.
I'd much rather it was a great success for the good of the marque/911 However, if i was sitting(which I am) with a good/clean 996/997 GT2/GT3(esp that 997 4.0 RS), I'd be feeling rather positive right now, as I believe that the 991 is aiming for a whole new customer base while the "old/previous" 911 customer base will start to seek out good 996/997 GT's and RS's and pay good money to own the last of the true/pure(non VAG) Porsche 911's. _________________ "The smallest feline is a masterpiece"

I think the fact that they've had to add front park assist has got to tell us something!
