Porsche is getting back into the 'LOOKS' game with these cars. Very happy to see some styling coming out of Stuttgart. :

Sorry but truly, I can't seem to see anything and make any valuable comparaisons to other turbo models, with the camouflage...

It still doesn't do it for me... when I first saw the C4S Cab I say OMG out loud, that's when I knew I wanted that car... I don't get that same feeling here.

They will be out early '06. If anybody is toying with buying a 997S now, I would wait for the TT and sister models out '06(C4S,Cab,etc).

I hope it looks better than that. It appears to have backed into some cheap garden furniture.

it looks terrible.. i hope that is not the finished product.
The front grille looks like an asian-tuner-car from need for speed and the intakes make the quarter panels look like patch-on bodywork - they could at least mold the intakes into a better (rounded) quarter panel like on the 993tt-s, or even the 996tt.
lastely, the rear spoiler looks like it was hit from behind the the grille is bent sideways.

I just hope DSG gearbox makes it down into the "regular" 997s to replace the Tip. Tip 997s are not going to sell I predict, too expensive, too few gears, too little technology for a car like this.

My 993 TT looks better and better as these pics come out.

The only problem is it keeps getting older and older. Old machines tend to malfunction. And that's a fact... So, I better start gathering my 997 pennies. Will it be a 997 GT3 or a 997 TT ? This is going to drive me crazy for a whole year!
