Correct!
I was never a big Porsche fan for various reasons, none of which we're judgement on weather it was a 'good car' or not. The style was cool but never overwhelmed me. Two other factors were financial and the lack of ragtops. The 986 was not affordable to me when launched, but the look was pretty cool and certainly not a copycat design, unless you consider the 356's.

Certain cars just look right. Although a subjective statement, I doubt you'd find many folks that disagree that an Alfa Spider, Jag XK anything or other favorites weren't great looking, timeless designs.

I don't think the 986 is in the same cosmetic class (yet) but it is distinct recognizable, which is a great start to immortality!
