The body looks improved, but the interior is still hideous, as are the rims. It still appears to have no soul. I second the Aston Martin AM V8 choice. If the AM V8 price is not ridicules, there's no competition in my opinion.

Whoa? Complaints about the light switch????? Oh my god, who cares? What kind of light switch would you prefer? I think the dash looks sleeker and a little slimmer. Ok, the steering wheel design i a little goofy, but oh well. Does the lightswitch effect how the car handles? Ok maybe metal rocker switches or ***** like a spyker or zonda would be neat, but i feel its all secondary. Shoot, if anything go to radioshack and get your own switch that suits you.
I dont mean to flame, its just i always hear people raggin' on these secondary details. Who cares what japanese comapnies offer, or anyone else offers. I bet this new 911 drives even better than the previous. I think thats all that counts. And yes, at least they are moving back towards a more traditional view.

I think it's horrid - that clock has to go!
Also, I don't think Porsche is going to win by going back to the 993 look - I mean, the gearshift looks very 993, but I think the standard 996 shift is much nicer.
I don't want to feel like I am driving some 80's Audi Fox!

For sure the new 911 will be a great driving car, but what if the next model "borrows" a VW V8 ? I'm sure still that it will drive like a dream and better than the 997.
