I just got this email from my boys over at Porsche NA. Here is the link to the new 997 Cabs.

Looks good. However, the hump over the engine and behind the top is too "humpy" and large. I'm sure it has a lot of importance in relation to the design of the car, though (i.e. aero, space). I'm sure its even better in person.

What sucks now is that I really really want a 90 thousand dollar car. I haven't had that desire since '98.

They sound much better than the 996s too. Vrooom vroom.

... another Porsche press release photo that has more airbrush work than reality !!

Seeing a 997 body throw light like that would be a very rare occurrence.

The soft jellybean shape of the Boxster/ 996/ 997 has not, and will not, look as exciting and defined as the altered pictures they feed us.

...probably comes from the body being designed on a computer to start with....

just MHO..

my friend is picking up a 997S next month...struggled between the cab and the coupe for a while

As much of a step up from the 996...and how they addressed the moaning and *****ing of "purists" like me...

I still think the 993 and the pre-73's take the cake...nothing sweeter they those 2

Ha, my thoughts exactly Matt. Still has the 996 cab hunch-back effect.
