Pictures always help (unless Johnny Danger's involved)

Carrera GT (a 997/987 era car, all by its lonesome in exotic/supercar territory)


Boxster (981)

The resemblence can't be denied, Porsche themselves have pointed out that they intentionally designed the car's look with the spirit of the Carrera GT in mind.

Carrera (991 in this case)


We're talking apples, oranges, and peaches here. Hoepfully this helps with any possible confusion.

Personally, I don't like the idea that they designed this car to look very much like a Carrera GT, because I feel that in doing so they've made it look like a big MR2:



I will also admit, however, that much like the 987's changes, the longer it's around, the more it grows on me to the point of toleration.

Can't wait for Hoffman down the road from here to take delivery of some so I can take one for a test drive on a lunch break.
