Still don't like either bumper or the exhaust spacing, but maybe it'll grow on me.

Thumbs up

The 991.2 is going to be awesome. The minor tweeks will improve key areas such as the Macon's steering wheel and losing the "bubble" headlamps. The turbo motors will be a boon to performance and economy, and are a good match for launch control. Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust will be a must!

Current GTS and Sport Design bumper looks better.

Although, the bumper in the spy shots isn't bad (a little Cayman-ish!)

If the headlights are indeed "flatter" and less of a bubble, I'm not a fan of that either.

Rear bumper looks a bit like the current "Turbo". No like either.

Loss of the NA engine? Tragic.

Same here, even if it's a Sapphire Blue!

There have been two arrangements of exhaust pipes shown so far, this being the slightly wider variation. What do you think? Does a narrow arrangement signify more power, like the centre-exit GT3? Or is it the wider pipes that will show the bigger brother, as with the current Turbo?

I'm going with the wider pipes as being the bigger engined car.
But neither are as wide as the current 991...haha

I'm really digging the front splitter - makes the car look less like its sporting Paul Bunyan's chin!

I think the front bumper looks like the stylists were cribbing from Ferrari.

Is it me, or does the rear appear much 'taller' than the current 991?

I was just thinking about that too. It doesn't look like 911 anymore...
But as it's just facelift so it maybe just picture angle issue.
