Yeah, the 991 was love at first sight for me. No question. Even in its first chamo pics it looked like a next level masterpiece. Not one negative to it imo. Perfection by Porsche designers and extremely agreeable design.
I personally never loved the 997 look compared to other 911’s, so the 991 was sort of a “return to ideal form” to me.

I dont think any manuf can/would sell blacked out lenses like these as OEM. Think this is just a 991.2 c4S.

And I agree that the 991 is the most beautiful gen since the 993 in my opinion, both exterior & interior. For some reason I can't forget the first time I saw the launch 991 in black at my local dealer in 2012, it was captivating/stunning in person

Same. First 991 I saw I thought to myself, well Porsche finally got back to building simple beautiful cars with flow and balance to the design. I had not been interested in a 911 since the 993, but the 991 brought me back in the fold. IMO, the 991.1 is the best looking Porsche of the last 30 years. The 992 looks like it's gonna be a step back into 996 style, it kinda looks a little like a 911 land.

I can't stand the billboard vertical PORSCHE logo. Will be the SAME across all Porsche models. Yuck.
Looks dumb when the model will be below floating instead of one cohesive badge.
The 911 has officially been whored out. It's just being morphed into a mainstream car to cross sell all the other models which really makes them $$ and will fuel growth. Sports cars are becoming a smaller piece of the business every year. Porsche is getting bigger and moving in the same direction as the other big German car companies.

I still think its really early and with only one view very hard to tell if its love or not. I do like the big hips though.
Unfortunately I have been around long enough and have been driving these cars long enough to know that this is all a dance until we see what the real car looks like and what the performance numbers are. A tail light here, a head light there doesn't matter if it doesn't drive like a Porsche. I even had 2 996 TT's and they were awesome performance cars and I was never embarrassed to drive them.
It's still fun to look at the pictures though and listen to the Rennlist community bitch and complain that they won't buy one because it doesn't look like a 993 or the tail light is too square.

As an ex-BMW owner, the only somewhat good news is the redone 5 series, which looks a bit different from the 3 and 7 series. Sad they are no longer considered great driving cars any longer. Audi has some exciting products like the A5 Sportback, and A7, but their sedans are also quite similar. Truthfully, with the German sedans so bland, you may as well go Japanese and get reliability.
