I always thought modern 911 Cabs looked lumpy. Not a fan.

Agree.

But it's partly because the 996/997 series are so much larger than the previous series. In fact, the 996 is fully 25% larger than my 964 - that's a lot. It has in fact become mid-sized.

The 964 is actually quite small (even compared to the Boxster, which now seems gargantuous) and sorta like the austin mini, it's bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Cheers!

Agree on the size, my friend told me that my 986 was larger than his 928 and I said no way. I pulled up next to him and I was shocked how big mine was to his...I always thought the 928 was huge. (No jokes please )

I agree with the proportion comments...looks too large and humpy for my taste. A friend had one of the 964 speedsters; I could never warm up to it...the '89s were downright goofy looking.

The Boxster is the best looking drop top Porsche produces, hands down.
