that styling looks old. The headlights? I haven't seen the likes of those in a while on a porsche. I don't know, that looks stylistically behind the 996 if you ask me.

Well, there really is no place for the 911 design to go if it wants to hold onto it's heritage. I don't mind, it's about time something doesn't change too much. Any 911 design cue could never be a step behind, it's an inherently good looking car by nature. I like the traditional round headlamps. Like Jeep Wrangler going back to round, after square. It's okay to take a journey, as long as you never forget where your home is.

Check out the camber on the rear wheel, sheesh!

i'm hoping the camber is an optical illusion. That headlight insn't optically clear like all the stylish cars ones are. It just looks kinda old to me. I'm interested to see where 997 takes, it this is make or break for porsche really, if they beef this, they will loose a lot of thier enthusiast base.

it may look great but that is definitely not the final look...it's heavily disguised.

you think the GT3 will only be a 3.6? The 3.8L S is close in hp, and if the same holds true as it was with 996, the 911S will weigh less than GT3 too. I'd bet it was a 3.8, and good for more than 400. it only makes sense.
