BTW, I think it actually looks fine, and must look much better without all the camouflage gear.
I am much more disappointed with the INSANITY of the interior (from another thread), it's SCARY how many buttons are added in the centre console. I understand they wanted to make the family look similar, but to LITERALLY take the Panamera centre console and put it on 911, is plain STUPID!

This is a bit worrying:
Will the 991 be the last 911 to look like a 911?
Interesting!
But it looks the same as today’s Porsche 911!
Yes, yes – but that’s the Porsche way. For now, at least. Volkswagen is steadily integrating Porsche into its portfolio and group styling chief Walter de’Silva has already publicly criticised Porsche’s conservative designs in an interview with CAR Magazine (July 2010).
‘Design is very important [to Porsche], but it is based on an icon that is the 911,’ he told us. ‘To compete in the future, it has to spend a lot of time on design. Not to change its history, heritage or philosophy but I think its fixation with 911 proportions makes it very, very hard. We have to do better, but we need time.’

The entry-level car downsizes to a 350bhp 3.4-litre flat six, while the S sports an identical capacity 400bhp 3.8.
