Looks like they are using the same "black horizontal stripe" design on the front bumper:

Black lower sections in the front facsia of the 992 would fall in line with current Porsche styling details.

Just awful! Jesus! I wonder if they have to pay George Foreman royalties for using his grill.

People crapped on the 997 after years of 996 and Boxster? LOL

People crapped on the 964, 996 big time, 997, 991 and 991.2. Not going to change with 992 and it is usually those that don't want to step up and pay $$$ for the newer design. I absolutely love the 991.2 GT3, Turbo and Targa GTS look. Let's wait and see final product from normal angles. The car will likely be a beast to drive.

Actually I purposely read thru some "historic" threads on here and people were commenting on how uninspiring and dull of a refresh the 997 was. Believe it or not... lol

This is really a Panamera coupe now. I think it looks absolutely awful!

I always like to see the final product in real life...however the pictures on this link seem to have several different looks. In some it seems to be a mix between a Nissan and Mustang! Look forward to my Dealership gathering with goodies when it comes in. I'm sure I'll get to drive it.

It's slowly becoming more and more square.

In many of the earlier pictures it looks more and more like a Nissan GTR to me. Brutal and busy but not sleek and beautiful

What you guys think?

Is that the front or the rear?

Do not like. I think the 997 was the pinnacle of the 911 shape, followed closely by the 993, then everything else drops off rather quickly. All subjective however, and of course, this coming from a guy who thinks the 928 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, including in the Porsche line up. I put the 997 just a hair below that.
