Was there ever an Excellence magazine that covered the 996?
If so what issue?

Check out this list of Excellence magazines, from 1998 when the 996 debuted.

Thumbs up 996 Excellence Articles

Cover stories I saved include:
1998 August "New 911 Arrives in U.S.
1999 May "Carrera 4: The Best Ever?" (They said Yes!)
2001 November "New 911 Carrera!" (Mk II)
There are others issues with Short stories, and in 2009 September (and other years) - the "996 & 997 Market Updates" gives a good overview of the 996.
Despite the mechanical issues we see with aging - this first total redesign of the 1963 911 received great reviews. Clearly it was a better 911 in all the measured standards, and styling is a very subjective personal issue. The best "critics" were the buyers, many more that any prior model, showing the real impact of this ...
IMHO "best buy" 911!

Excellence and Total 911 have both written numerous articles on the 996. Let your Google search begin.
