I like the 997, and most of its variants. I like elements of the 'Sport Classic' shown here.
I'd love to see the wheels produced in volume.
I'll be sure to call you a troll next time you voice your opinion that you don't like something here. Don't be so boorish and close minded.

The shape and configuration is quintessentially Volkswagen Beetle, btw.

Seriously, it's time for some NEW IDEAS at Porsche. It's frankly no wonder they went bankrupt, they haven't had an exciting NEW sports car design in decades. Not since the 944/928.

Ferrari long ago let the 308 die with grace. Lambo long ago let the Countach die with grace, and replaced them with exciting new SHAPES and designs.

PORSCHE IT IS TIME TO LET GO OF THE 70 YEAR OLD VW BEETLE INSPIRED 911.


Then again, if their next sports car design is as lame and uninspiring as the Panamera or the Cayenne.......

EDIT: I do like the Carerra GT. It's a shame Porsche couldn't make a much cheaper version of that with conventional sheet metal and a turbo charged flat 6 for about $150,000.00....they would sell tons of them.

EDIT II: I do like the boxster too, i guess that certainly counts as a new design(though many of you seem convinced it's for gays only. )

I guess it is, since people have been saying the 911 was tired since the day the internet was invented. Now, 20 years later, and Porsche is still introducing slightly altered versions of the same old tired 70+ year old VW design.
