Honestly 987.1 lights look very dated particularly when matched with some wheel options.
Litronics or a projector upgrade 986 can pass as a new design, and most definitely look more modern than something you'd find on most anything else.
What I find odd is that Porsche is moving away once again from round lights, everything is going for a carrera gt shape with a 4 light rectangle emphasis.
The 981 particularly with the spyder or gt4 nose looks exceptionally more square than typical Porsche design language, yet the rear still holds true.
