i agree with OCBen....front, straight on......looks like crap and still looks like an early 2000's boxster. too long and smooth.....if it weren't for the round headlights it would look even worse!

I don't like viewing my car from the top, because this means I am standing on my Porsche.

Default Side View, usually means I am walkling away from it at work

Would rather be buzzing around in the car.

However I guess I love the side view, as I keep looking at it when I walk up to it.

I think that the 997 is a super model, looks great from every angle (especially the back!)

MrBonus beat me to it. The front looks too "happy" in Speed Yellow. Every time I see a front-end shot of a 997 in SY, I hear that stupid "whuaaaa" noise from those old Neon commercials in my head.

I'm not bashing SY; I considered it myself. I just don't think it suits the look of the front of the car.

John, your telephoto lens shot is a better view than Tom's wider angled shot, which accents the nose too much.

Compare these against the other p-cars, especially a CGT, which has an awesome head on view.

The front view of the 997 is not really that sexy with that smiley face, compared to an *** view or 3/4 Rear.

"Smiley face?" I don't see it.
