When I look at my 997S from various angles I am struck by how low it looks overall. It looks so much more sleek than the 996 or 993.
That just shows what an excellent job Porsche did with the redesign. They must have fired the crew that designed the 996, b/c the 997 is such a leap forward from where they were. Thank goodness. I actually never wanted to own a 996, having owned older better looking 911's and when I saw the 997 I fell back in love.

The shape is virtually identical, only differences being the front and rear lights.

This thread highlights a pretty interesting observation, that the 996 and 997 are incredibly similar, yet the 997 really does look much better. It's all in the small details.
Having said that the 997 looks better, I still think the 996 looks more modern, and there are still some cues on the 996 that I prefer. All in all though, the 997 is an improvement, and not much arguement will be made about that.
If only they'd improved the rear main seal!

Re: nice 964 angle
i simply love the 997 in general, except there is one angle that makes the front look quite weird. Its a side view a taken a litle above the car so it allows you to see the far side front lights. In that angle both the front lights seem to be almost in the middle between where the window starts and where the bumper of the car is. i think this is due to the fact that the front bumper is a litle curved which makes it seem that way. But other than that i think the design of the 997 is perfect.. 
i cant wait to see the 998 cause that will be a very though job for the designers
