I recall seeing a 993 turbo and a 930 at a recent show and shaking my head because the 993 looked... odd?
Enjoy your car.

If this is 5 pages long people obviously feel it is worth the space.

I respectfully disagree. I love the 993 and think it, next to the earlier long nose cars, are the best looking 911s ever; I love the way the 993 looks and will have to go get another one someday....

Then the 993 came, a perfect, clean shape again, taking just the right amount of inspiration from the early 911s--windshield angle, hips, headlights, interior--while properly updating everything that has been hacked and band-aided through the prior 20 years.
The 993 design is the ideal end of the 911 line that started in 1964. You can quibble about certain bad angles, but Porsche was putting bad angles on the basic shape from the mid-70s on, and the 993 cleaned up most of those.
