Timeless design

This because your ability to appreciate and differentiate forms Is evolving and becoming more complex. Newer cars and their designs help SOME of us evolve- and changes the context within which we compare the older. The same thing happens to men ( and women?) with regards to women's bodies. Jake, believe it not, in 25 yrs., you'll appreciate a young women's beauty more than you do now. You'll swear " they didn't look like that when I was that age"....And you'll probably appreciate the flowing, complex, organic lines of the 986 even more too. I think cheaper cars utilize simpler forms because that makes them cheaper to produce/ stamp out. So our cars really do have something special- complex, organic forms and more curvature/ inch which made the body panels much more expensive to produce. You're on to something Jake! And Porsche spends the dough on quality design whereas, say GM didn't, when they added fake scoops and wings etc. as an attempt to ' build excitement!' into their much more affordable offerings.
