Design is always subjective, but I think the entire shape/design behind the rear wheels is terrible.

Don't bet on the area behind the soft top cover as real. I believe it's still masked.

uncamoflauged 997

I really can't tell if the windsheild is more up-right(ala 993).

MPD47

Turn signals/fog lights must still be camo'd also the area around the rear deck lid looks strange. Otherwise i like it.

Oh Lord...
I'm so happy I got my 993, I feel it's much better looking!
That 997 looks like a cross-breed between an Alien and a Datsun.
But as usual, the C4S will probably be much better looking.

the windshield is the same as the 996 - no major underpannel changes until the 998(?) or what ever the next version is. this is an interm model to tied us over until they can redesign it for real. Been spending too much on the "Other" car (4 model) lately to finance a true re-design.

As a lifetime Porsche fan/admirer, my hopes are with the future 998. I admit I feel a car is more about how it drives than looks, but the 911 has always had a look I admired to go along with it's capability. I haven't seen anything (admit all photos have camouflage) that has seemed more appealing than my current Carrera. Just my personal opinion.

I like the new interior shots, but the exterior is doing nothing for me. It looks like a step back. The 996 seems fresher and newer in design. Maybe when the last of the disguises come off it'll look better.

Looks to me to be the new Boxster.

In the front of the 997, the top half looks like my 993, while the bottom half looks like my Cayenne S air intakes. The rear is just slightly revised 996. Where did all the designers go? Maybe Porsche can use some advise from Chris Bangle. (just kidding)

Looks like more room in the back for a bigger engine
