The 991 looks very similar to previous Porsche's
Its a 911, thats how its supposed to look and reatin the general look generation after generation.
and sounds almost the same which is to say no sound.
Have you ever heard a GT3 or a Carrera with PSE? The sound of the atmospheric boxter engine is iconic and never get tired of it, even when I park the car and it's growls ecoe in the garage it will draw a smirk on my face from time to time. Of course you don't get that in a Turbo, I agree, but the Turbo is not the only 911.
Why would anyone who owns a 997 trade their car in for this car?
Handling? driving experience? if its better in the 991, I'd say those are pretty good reasons, after all this is a sportcar... add in the classic 911 look and a PSE and you will see why many will.
