There's no need to spend $100-200K to get an air-cooled Carrea, you can get an older model air cooled 911 for way less than these 993's.
So I'm inclined to think its all about that front end styling. The rear of the car doesn't really stand out anymore than the back of a very nice looking 996.
If Porsche doesn't decide to incorporate the Boxster concept prototype styling into the 1999 Carrera, then these 993 depreciate just like any other 911.
The 993 guys should thank us! and at the same time the 996 guys should thank us for saving the whole ship from going under. If that had happened those 993's would have been worth a mint.
