993 vs 991 - A Visual Comparison.
 
I parked my car at the Baltimore GP Porscheplatz and when I came back after the race I saw this next to it. Had to take a few pics of the two together. They speak for themselves...

BTW Porsche AG CEO Matthias Müller was at Porscheplatz and signed my car :D

The 991 is porky and I see SUV height is still an issue :)

Your front bumper has been resprayed?

But seriously -- 993 is such a better-looking car, especially the front end. 991 front looks like a deep-sea aquatic creature of some kind.

A great set of shots. A co-worker pointed out to me an interesting commonality I hadn't noticed. The mounting of the side mirror on the door rather than the post.

I read that it's for better aero apparently. Like the 993 ;)

I'm biased, but that 991 is not that appealing when compared to the 993.

My (biased) vote is on 993 :D Sorta feel sorry for the designers of 991, No doubt the designers tried hard at making the Carrera more perfect-er than ever, no doubt the 991 can perform better, but I still like the appropriately sized 993 more than the comparably larger 991. Although its a subjective thing, I believe 993 is so difficult to beat in terms aesthetic ( which I also believe is not something that could be improved by technology ; aesthetic depends solely on the visions of the mind)

The somewhat plain, overweight sister. Everyone complements her personality out of pity.

Holy sh!t. First pic, I thought the 991 was a Panemera, seriously!

I really like the new 991's looks. Just don't park a 993 (or 964, Carrera 3.2, etc, etc) next to one. Huge and not as pretty as its ancestors.

993 > Mini-Panamera :D

The 991 is a beautiful shape,but as others have said,I'm blown away at how much bigger it is than our 993s. The small size is one of the things I enjoy most about my car.
