They put in the right ingredients but somehow things didn't turn out as they should.
I say: Not good enough. |

SOmeone said the style is evolutionary..
Evolution is a long term thing The styling, IMHO, is tired, looking its age and simply another rendition of a 30 year old theme. Nice, but not jaw dropping....

I'd like a GT3 version of it. In other words, one with a decent engine.

No vote catagorie for me: "I like it, no more, no less than the 996."
That's what I would say. Good evolution of the 900 series. Actually, my least favorite of the modern cars is the 993. |

I really think its lookin good. I can agree on the hood and the hood vent (much needed), but a rear reflector??? not so sure about that one. Split grill like lelands or the C4S might be cool though.

I like the body much more than the 996. If they would just go back to the true dry sump motor (like GT3 and TT), it would be even better.

I guess I would of like to of seen something that makes more of a statement. But still far better than the 996.
Which begs a question: Just what the heck is Porsche going to do after three more design revisions. You get to 999 and then what? Back to 901? Give up and start using names like Biscane? Get bought out by GM and get the parts bin raided and the name leveraged like every other boutique manufacturer?
