agreed...
style is important, and I think the 987 is a step back. as a guy who just picked up a 986 in the last year, I'm glad. For me, it's similar to the 993 to 996 transition..a big step back in exterior styling.
On performance stuff, I also agree that the upgraded performance of the 987 is just not worth the bucks to eat the depreciation of owning a new one.
I'm so stoked with my 986, I just can't tell you...I smile everytime I get in our around the car. I drove a bunch of 986's before I bought this one, and they all made me smile. The car I bought was from a guy who thought he needed the latest and greatest...ok. So, after paying $56K for his 01's and dumping $15k of mods into the car, he eats $35k of depreciation over the three years he owns it and moves on to an '05... I pick it up for the remaining $36k with 24k miles, a year of warranty left, the performance of the '05s (after all the engine and suspension mods) and styling that I like better than the '05. Some people wouldn't be happy with a 'used / older style' 986...but I'm stoked with it. It takes all types...I'm just happy to be part of the food chain. ;-)
