It looks like the ugly taillights on the new Caymans and Boxsters. Horrible styling.

As I have said before, disappointed in the styling. The look is now stale. The same design pretty much since the 996. I think Porsche has to move this design forward quite a bit. Something more akin to the E Mission styling would look a lot more modern yet retain the 911 styling DNA. To the non Porsche aficionado from the 996 up they all look the same. PAG is risking going the BMW route where their car design has not really evolved in over a decade. My take.

Every one of you who can afford one will buy one, or more.

^ So true. Not sure what the angst is all about, I think it looks like a normal evolution of the 991. Rear fender flaring looks more pronounced in some pics than the 991, I like that. The tail lights look more modern and simple. The headlights do look a little bugeyed so will have to see in person before making a judgement. I think they are trying to evoke the more upright headlights from the old days.

I'm far more concerned with what is underneath (or will be) for the GT cars. Wrap it in tin foil as long as it is a driver's car with a screaming flat 6 (GT)

Only for the GT NA versions then I'll think about it.

"992" GT3 will remain NA and MT optional IMO.

Too much money spent on the updated engine to consign it after half a generation.

Headlights have stickers on them which give them that look. They do that on mules every time , and someone comments on bug-eye look every time.

Pccb or steel though?

I read the thread. A LOT of whining, which happens every 911 generation.

I'm excited for the next car, and will skip the 991.2 and wait.

Also, this thread has a much more catchy title… Looks like this one's a winner. Whoever started the other thread may need Therapy now

I can't wait that long for the 992 GT3. Let's hope it stays NA for all the purists.

I may run out of money if Porsche keeps building NA 992 GT3s, 3RSs, and GT4s. Will have to get another job and hustle 2x as hard.
