928.

I dont like 968 rear end. Its totally character-less.
Front is attempt to convert 944 to something 911/928, side skirts are allso hideous.

968 is raped 944 in my book.

Curb appeal. A 968 cab still stops people in their tracks. 928s and 968 coupes don't do that anymore.

968 cab looks way better than coupe, I agree. But still ugly rear fender and lights.

Having both 944's and a 928, the 928 is the best looking car. I do think the front of the 944 turbo does look good. Early 944's just look pretty dated.

I have been planning on how to modify the fenders of the 928 to make it look like a Panamera. You could also make it look great with 996 headlights in there. If I can find cheap fenders sometime maybe it will happen.

:-X

the roof looks like an afterthought...like, "lets make a 944 roadster!" and then someone was like, at the last minute, "hm, in case it rains..."

928 all the way... Red or black S4 with nice wheels is one of the best looking Porsches ever made IMO

I actually love the 28/68 headlights. I know a lot of people do not but for me it just makes the cars look alive.

Looking at a bunch of pictures. Wow, the front side shot of the 928 and 968 are very similar. It is kind of a toss up there. The rear of the 928 just looks better to me. The crooked line of the door of the 928 works. Since the hatch is not all glass (ugh the top seal of the 944 hatch!) the lines are better. The rounded rear looks good too. In person, the 928 is just bigger and looks a little aggressive because of it's width.

I always thought the 68 looked too much like Porsche just tried to make the 944 look like the 928... and it just came out awkward. A 944 is way better looking than the 968.

One of the most beautiful 928's I have ever seen is Cobalt's.....I have only seen it once on a local lunch/drive....believe it's a GTS..one of the last made.

To me the 928 and particularly the last of them...are sex on wheels....one of the best looking designs ever on the road.

I must admit that the 968 is a very close second....and the car that I'd probably choose to own before the 928. But there's no doubt for me that a 928 is beauty on wheels !
