I finally saw one at Amelia Island and thought that it looked way better live than in any of the pics or vids I had seen. There is more happening in the way of detail in the black part of the front and rear facias, so they looked less like VW corporate clones. The stance with 21 inch rears looked great, and the rear end appeared far less fat, although the sport design still seems like it would be more attractive to me. The third brake light on the engine grill was a non event. I am not sold on the shiny black "continuation" of the rear window, but can now understand how it fits the design language. All in all, no more deserving of the hyperbole floating around than the 991 vs 997 debate of yore.
