The wing mirrors are still in the wrong place - it's a shame they didn't correct that design flaw on the 991. Anyone who has driven a 991 with the windows down at >80 mph will get buffeted badly. The black plastic triangle in the front corner of the doors is ugly and is exactly where the mirrors were located in the 997, which avoided the buffeting problem. :-(

Geeeeez. I don't like the changes. Buy a GTS now!!!
I got an RS on the way. Looks like we are headed to a new generation of turbos. Buy now and enjoy natural aspiration while you can.

I'm not a big fan of the Audi TT exhaust pipes.

The 991.1 is the new 993, the end of an era.

That vertical rear grill cannot be for real. IMO, it is hideous and clashes with the design. The traditional horizontal approach works much better.

I can't un-see the bumper resemblance with Ferrari.

Hopefully the rear grill is still camouflaged, surely?

It's not worthy of the 991 nomenclature! They should just call it a 992 and move on...

Anyone think we might change our mind about them when they're putting out 500hp with a $1,000 remap?

I guess at least it means that grille will be out of sight faster
