Saw that on another site earlier. Very nice. They're heading back towards the 993-style front, which I like a lot. More "classic 911". I don't like how the 996 looks at all.

I wonder what the TURBO and GT2 model will look like.

The interior is a big improvement....

You're a 993TT fan too, eh? That car is very high on my list of "dream cars I want to own one day".

No, I agree with you. They do all look the same right now, at least from the front.

I've read that's been a big complaint of 911 owners. They don't want their car to look like the Cayenne (the SUV) and they really don't want it to look like the Boxster. I can agree with that sentiment. If I just spent over $100k on a new 911 Turbo, I don't want people mistaking it for an "entry-level" (in that world, at least) Boxster.

They all look the same to retain a company identity...the Porsche owners are bitching way too much IMO. Expect the Cayenne and Boxster to get the same front end treatment by next year.
