Appearance preferences are like noses. Everyone has got one and their all different.
That said, people will buy
cheap if they can't afford what they
really want. That doesn't make cheap better, its just cheap. I don't see people buying a brand new $100k car that they don't like the looks of because it has a faster lap time at the Nurburgring (unless they just want bragging rights at the country club).
It breaks my heart to say this but I think that the 911 has jumped the shark. "Form follows function" has been replaced with "distinction follows gadgets and the accounting department".
I know everyone quotes stats on power to weight ratio and lap times but, none of those get my heart racing. I'd rather have less nannies and more involvement with getting the most out of my car before I get to the track. But hey, that's just what my nose looks like.
