i think that the 986 was trying to look retro (550) while the 987 and 981 are trying to look contemporary. further, i think the 987 was a miss; those side vents look tacked-on. the cayman incorporates the side vents ino the car much better. the 981 does contemporary the best.
the 911 has the benefit of porshe history, and all these cars have stying cues from the earliest 911, while still sucessfully incorporating modern stying cues (one could argue that the 996 deviated from this a bit, but porsche pulled it together with the 997). the 986 (and 987 spyder) tries to do the same and tie-in to porsche history, but the 987 and 981 stray from this and try to be their own cars. i'm not sure they do this successfully - if not for the fact that they are cheaper, i would be more interested in thier audi, ferrari and lambo contemporaries from a styling standpoint.
for the three you post, 986 all the way.
