It seems like the car's gaining mass, which I hope is not the case. I will say, though, the first thing that popped out of his mouth was "looks like an MR2".
All reports are that the new car grows a couple inches in length but loosing weight thanks to aluminum body panels. It still will be heavier than the 986 though, I would bet.

To the eye, the car looks smaller in proportion to the wheels, but the wheels are huge. There was a bus ad in Denver where they painted a Ford Mustang onto the side of the bus, using the buses wheels for the Mustang. It looked great until you realized that the Mustang was HUGE!
