I own a new-generation Porsche, but the 996 leaves me cold.
The 997 has definite potential, with it's "hips" that owe a lot to the original transition to SC/Carrera flares.
So why not also go 'retro' with a ducktail? (I also think the new wheels look too much like those on a Ford Expedition.) I shortened the nose (again) just a touch nad fixed that wonky diagonal body seam in the rear.
