Every generation gets better. I will drive this 987s for a few years then move up to a second gen 987s or 981s.

The 981s is what I want and will move too maybe next.

No doubt the 987 is more refined....but having owned both, there is no doubt the 986 is much more 'raw'' which is part of the fun of the car. The 986 at times felt like it might just kill you. The 987, not so much. Both have their pros and cons.
As to looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I thought beauty was in the eye of the "beerholder."
