Are you trying to show us the 977 out in the wild?

It looks like a mirror image of my 997.

It's my take on the current "FAIL!" fad sweeping the globe.

Makes you wonder what they were thinking with the 997.1 front end. One is very nice the other is very very nice.

I like the old one better... For me 997.2 looks a bit like a big, surprised bug

There is a Porsche designer, today, working to design led's that look like regular old incandescent lamps.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. The auto industry has gone overboard with the LED's, and Audi is probably the worst offender. Too many cars have bling with the LED's that makes it look cheesy in many cars in general.

If Porsche can do it and make it look more classy & old school then I would enjoy that a lot more.

997.2 design emphasizes the grillwork a bit too much for my tastes. Related to PTpeecar's comments, I prefer any design which continues to emphasize the big, round, historical, warm, fuzzy headlamps over everything else. Stray too far from that design cue and the cars stop looking like "a 911" to me.

This is why I dislike the current crop of Turbos and why I like the GT3/aerokit cars in a dark color.

I'll take anything that looks more like a CGT! The 997.2 IMO, looks more resolved, fewer loose ends. IOW, the lights line up and look like a complete design - not an add on. No biggie.

At this angle, I can see what you mean. It does line up.
The front of the .2 looks like its' skin is pulled tighter. That's a good thing.
