I've been noticing 958's all over the place here and it seems the 955/957 look more like trucks.

I do like the front of the 958's, however; more so than the rear.

+1. I still think the 958 is great looking but wish the back end was a little more like the 957. I think they made it too round (vertically and horizontally) where the 955/957 had more straight lines. That being said, I am looking forward to FINALLY picking up my 958 in a matter of days.

And what's up with those tail lights? Looks like they copied the design from Hyundai this time

Yeah, specifically the taillights is what seems out of place. The front is sexy, however.

Style is so subjective and no offense to any of the 955/957 owners on this board but I personally think the 958 has a much better looking and more cohesive exterior design coupled with an absolute quantum leap in interior design. But that's just my opinion.

Agreed. That's why I'm keeping my 957.

Make the mistake of thinking my P!G isn't manly-looking enough for you and you'll crawl away in shame. Like the Resident Expert did. In his very manly 911

958 for performance, but 957 for looks... I normally go performance but there's no way I'd be seen dead in a Caddy CTS-V

Yes, style is quite subjective. Thread is not to offend anyone, but just discuss. Again, the front of the 958 is damned sexy, IMO.

Ding ding ding! I think that's it. 958 performance with 957 looks would be perfect and Honda Civic reliability would be the perfect PIG.
