Too Gran Turismo looking for my tastes. I'd like to see them reflect more on the 993 style.

Likes:
  • 997 style still clear
  • Shorter front/rear overhangs give more balance
  • Dash of Cayman design lines gives it a new feel
  • Manual transmission

Dislikes:
  • Aluminum structure (and entire car) will be pricey
  • 7-speed gearbox (two useless gears)
  • Panamera-like interior
  • 19-in wheels (wheels start to dominate the side view)
