I think revolution would better cover the jump to the 964, 993, 996, etc. In those cases the better part of the 911 was both re-designed and re-styled. Up until '89, they made small changes to keep the car mechanically and stylistically up to date. This, I believe, would be evolution.

Regardless, what I think is just tacky is taking a modern car, like the previous Mustang, and making it look 30 years old. To me it says that they don't have any good modern designs, so they just rip off the past.
