+1 , Porsche is making their cars bigger,heavier and ride more like a GT car then a true sports car.

I really like the 991 Cabriolet pictures and videos that have been popping up recently. IMO it is the best looking 911 Cabriolet ever. I didn't like the stacked look of the lowered top on the earlier Cabriolets and something didn't sit right about the later models with the top down.

I agree with the bigger, heavier, more GT-like sentiments, but I feel like Porsche has a winner with this platform and will continue with it accordingly.

ddb - ya I was just looking at the New Cab, it is on the Porsche site. The big ugly hump in the back is smaller, much nicer looking.

about the same (maybe less?) than the outgoing 997 series?

I get the feeling you've been spending a bit too much time with Johnny Danger.

I do like that they finally found a way to keep the shape of the solid car's roofline essentially intact on the new cabriolets. It blends much better. The funny thing is I've yet to see a picture of the new one with the top down.

Yes the new rag top looks great, the lines are wonderful. Checkout porscheusa.com, galleries with and without the top up.
