More 991's spotted floating around
The front is really looking a bit boxster-ish at least the lower part of the front. What do you guys think? Seems as the 991 is taking more of a path of luxury a-la panamera?

I think its an improvement over the 997 in basically every category from I've seen and read so far. I am looking forward to the official release.

Looks pretty nice with the sloped roofline. I wonder what the change in wheelbase and the electronic servo-steering will bring us in handling.

Looks like a squished frog.

Why do I always hate the new models? Resist change? OCD? This looks like a beautiful Caymen!!

They did say they were taking the cat further up market. If that means it looks more like a Pana I don't know.
That and I love those Rims. Haven't seen those on a 911 yet.

It does look very much like a stretched Cayman.

every new picture I like it more...at first i didn't like it, now I think it'd be a winner. My only concern is the interior, more modern but very bulky center console.

That isn't a crazy comparison. Stretching the car/wheelbase and moving the engine more forward will give this effect indeed.

Looks a lot sexier than before. The front fenders remind me of the 993. I think Porsche has a winner on its hands.

Hate this color, hate these wheels but the over all lines of the car are nice. The full on production car should be a winner and I can't wait to see what Porsche will do for the Turbo and GT cars.
