Appearance of 911
Is the appearance of a 911 getting long in tooth? A new 911 still has the basic shape of the first 911 from 50 years ago. Most non Porsche people cannot tell the difference from a new 911 from a 20 year old model. How much longer can they keep the 911 shape relevant?

why change perfection and beauty drastically just for the sake of change? GO compare a porsche 20 years old to a 20 year old Toyota or even Merc or BMW and tell me whos doing it right? Would you rather drive a new transformer looking Lexus?

Porsche, whether by design or circumstance, have created a THE automotive icon.
They would be fools to ever let it die. It's just as relevant now as it's ever been, maybe more so.

Here is your chance to get another one for only $109K with only 47K original miles.

Aside from design details in bumpers and lights, there really isn't much that can change from generation to generation. The overall shape will be basically the same as long as there is an engine in the back, seats in the rear, and not much up front.
When everything is electric standard car shapes will start to change. It's happening already.

911 like fine wine...as it gets older the better it is.
911 shape is iconic and cannot be messed with. It's like the baby v8 Ferrari..
F355 f360 f430 458 and 488 are all very similar

The shape is incredible and I agree, nothing else that isn't rear engined can look like it. At least anything with an ICE.
The shape also helps the value stay strong on the older models. When people think your 10 year old or 20 year old porsche is new or almost new, it definitely makes it more valuable on the free market.
Rolex and Harley's would be other examples but not for my tastes.
