Just saw a Corvette on the road. Not even close. Say what you will about the 991's styling, but it's still unmistakably a 911 - a classic shape without a lot of unnecessary lumps, humps, dips, peaks, flame surfacing, etc. Just a smooth, flowing design.

If anything, the 911 most resembles the VW Beattle from the front. The 991, not so much...thank God!!

I believe it is due to the increase in length and width that gives me the strong resemblance.
At least you didn't say VW Bug...

Meant the new 991 looks less like a VW, while the 997 headlights resembled a VW.

Even if the 991 even remotely resembled the Corvette (which it doesn't), you could instantly differentiate the cars by a quick look at the driver.

To me 911s and Corvettes that look like themselves- strong brands not easily confused with others, and good looking in their own right. I like especially that they convey power and where it is located.

Sorry. I may be the only Corvette lover here, and even I don't see any resemblance at all.

Boxster and MR2? Yes. I see it.

911 and Vette? No way.

You're going to have a hard time convincing anyone on here of that!

Take 3 days off to reconsider your interaction with this forum.

After this break and depending on your behavior, I will rethink about allowing you to post here.

Also, once you are back, it would be a great idea if you could let us know which cars (or should I say model cars?) you really own..


Best

John
