The tail looks more like a spatula or bottle opener.


The GT-3 is much nicer.

It's remarkable with Porsche's brain trust that they can't make a good looking car...

Every time they bring out a new car....and you later ( not *much* later) see the RUF variant...the RUF usually looks a lot more sanitary and cleaner. ( Although the latest orange RUF Speedster knock-off doesn't do it for me either).

The tail looks like an afterthought. This reminds me of how many auto makers slapped rear wings onto cars that had no business in having one (in the 80's & 90's).

The 997 GT3 looks sweet, IMO.

Wonder what the price tag will read. Can´t imagine what it must feel like being able to walk into the shop saying - I´ll have one of those, thank you very much.

My '85 Carrera doesn´t really cramp my stile of course. But still..

It looks too "busy" to me. As if the designer didn't know when to put the pencil down.

Back / lower-end is too "busy"...too "Styled".... that wasn't the Porsche way of years past.... ( focus was more on form-over-function...not boutique styling cues).

Front 3/4 shot looks pretty sweet, but the front end is too busy, the tail is horrible!

-I saw a 997 C4S in the garrage at work today, speed yellow with some kind of subtle body kit, car looks amazing! best of the post 993's yet, I think style wise... can't wait to see the new GT3
