New 911 spy shot

Looks like the new 997 was taken for N-ring trip.


looks like the Turbo grills have been added and the front has a bit more more of rake/slope. Allot less VW looking me thinks



^
Rear end is not to my liking. Note the "duct tape" over the tail lights, looks kind of cheesy CrossFire-ish. A big step down from the very nice looking 997 rear end.

More derivative styling. Boring to me.

I prefer the Box lines, always have.

I think the 987 bumper looks really good on the new 911. I like it...hopefully they flare the sides out a little more.

It's low and wide looking. Looks like it is ready to pounce. Exactly like a sports car should.

The changes in the picture seem minimal, as expected. However, contrary to most of the posts here, I love the look of the 911. I think it is better looking than the Boxster, especially the back end. The Box back end looks like the front of a car, is it coming or going phenomenon. I have always been a fan of the 911 though, so shouldn't be a surprise that I continue to like it - bigger, beefier, more aggressive, etc..

I want one now!


Disclaimer: I love my Boxster and think it looks sharp, just think the 911 is a step better.
