Ergonomics is another thing, I haven't warmed up to the newer look just yet... but as far as exterior styling, the 991 is very sexy.

If waiting is an option, I would just wait and feel how the 991 does over the next couple of years. The 997 DFI cars will have better resale value than the 05-08 cars, all because of the IMS scare.

I think the disconnected feeling may be due to the magnetic steering. I am not finding much inventory for 997 or 991 in the midwest which is keeping the prices on the high side. I think I am going to wait or consider a certified used Audi S4.
