Put two dots above those tailights and you have yourself a driving emoji.

Looks much like the new Panamera. Even more bloated now on the 992.

I think I see (on this rear) the same design elements of the new Cayenne and Panamera -- large, very wide gaping areas, be it the massive dark lighting area on top or the bottom of the bumper. It seems that the move away from the classic 911 'design language' continues.

Like any new design, it might take time to grow on us. I still like the 997 and 991 styling better at this point. Most of us are going to buy used so don't have to worry too much about the styling

I think we'll be hitting the bottom of that depreciation curve a little earlier!

It looks like a cross between Iron Man and Robocop. Not feeling it.

not a fan of the bumpers after the removal of the bump outs, looks rather shapeless and flat. Lower black part seems fussy, and that painted lip seems like it will get chewed up.

Why do people say this literally every time a new 911 comes out??? You know when the 997 came out there were people who crapped on that too?

Looks great to me. A more modern clean look and the proper evolution for the 9 series. Echoes of the RS in the rear window - grille treatment. I doubt those are the final taillights.

That is a bad angle for photographing any 9 series car, makes it look blobs!!
