Hi,

Without getting into too long an explanation, to me, the 986 looks like it was penned by an Artist, while the 987 looks as if it came from a CAD Program. The differences are subtle to be sure, but flowing Curves have been replaced by Angles, etc. Perhaps all this results in the more Agressive look others have mentioned, but to me, it is just not as appealing to the eye. I also don't care for the new wheels and I think the 986 Interior, though maybe of lesser quality, has a warmer feel to it. Just my humble $0.02...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
