Like how the led lights are making the DRLs and side markers more compact. The mirror change I care less about. I do hope the added dimensions (reportedly about an inch and half longer) wont come with an extra 100kg in weight...

Bet taken, Mr. 996/Smart.
Will gladly donate $100 if they can add 2 cylinders and likely more cc's, without serious disruption to their emissions and MPG ratings. There are tradeoffs for this type of change. Hope you are correct, but I can't see it happening.

yes mirror are very TT, large version of TT.
the nose is really "unresolved" in my eyes. most porsches have that issue.
long nose, 993RS, 993TT/TTS, 6gt3, 7gtx are exceptions.

Definately has a VW front end. There has been talk of enlarging the REAR compartment; why would I want a four passenger 911??? I know the current platform is a four passenger, but at least it's for amputee children not full size adults.

Another issue I see with any new Porsche is the entire car will run from a complex computer system (the vav and all the other stuff). Just more stuff to break that takes a complex computer science engineer to fix

Oh god! Please, not another CNC BMW. I actually like the more muscular look, definetly a 911, lighter weight, more power is good too.
