987 for reliability, performance, style

In a thread on the deficiencies of the 986 someone said that all those problems had been solved in the 987 (2005+).
Mine is a very reliable car, and quick - 0-60 in 5.1 sec.
Style preferences are personal; to me the 986 is too rounded, too soft, and the headlights are ugly. Some of the 987 style comes from muscle cars, I guess, but it does connote performance. And the shape of the vent behind the doors on the 987 is way-cool (and can be improved with the Cayman vent cover).
There is a comprehensive list of differences somewhere in past posts.

Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money.
