The shape change is like going from Marilyn Monroe to an East German woman body builder. Auto shape changes are typically cyclic as folks get bored with all the cars looking the same so perhaps they will go smooth and curvy again in 10 years.

I'm appreciating my 986 a lot more now .
I agree with this sentiment, they have certainly strayed very far from the original 986 design inspiration of the 550.
