Contrasting opinion - I actually prefer the early (pre-'85.5) cars. The interiors look a little bit older (having been largely borrowed from the late-1970s designed 924s) but there's beauty in the simplicity. I don't care if it looks "modern". It's not. It's a 20-year-old German sports car.
Oh, and the early cars are lighter too. And the DMEs are mounted in a logical location not prone to ending up underwater when the battery box fills up with water. Oh, and the fuel hoses aren't routed directly over the glowing hot exhaust headers as they are in the later cars. I know a thing or two about that. Legion does too.
