No doubt. On the flip side, people complain that the 911 is boring because it hasn't changed enough over the years and still looks like, shocker, a 911. You can't please everyone, and very seldom does a new gen come out for any car that is universally loved right off the bat.

Yes it is and I like them

There's no accounting for taste...

No there is not. I sure wouldn't kick a 991 with clear tails out of bed though.

Ok, now I like it after looking at it in more detail.
930 influenced front fenders, Audi interior, but the rear tron bar will still take some time and the vertical third brake light is just wrong.

I understand your enthusiasm for the 3L now, after reading BGB's thread and the gains from just a tune and losing the catalysts, but I'd say it's wishful thinking that it will make it into a 718.

And yet it's just good sense or style and taste to me. I actually had to unfollow most of my Porsche related accounts from my Instagram feed because all the 992 pics kept turning my stomach. With the 718/992/New Panamera, Porsche has pivoted to an entirely new, AudiChina inspired design future and it's not one many of us are excited about. Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I think the 992 is a brutally ugly car.

Sounds pretty dramatic to me. Good thing you weren't following Honda pages or those Type R pics would have put you in the hospital.

Interesting that you referenced another hideous clown car.
