It is too late to cover up the license plates but I'm sure Porsche won't like this picture.

i think the interior echos the straight lines of the 993. pretty smart but can see it getting dated quickly.
Especially the "S" is a masterpiece.

hey RC,
as you can see im new on the rennteam forum. how come you have the official pics and decent knowledge on the 997? do work for porsche or something?
A lot of other people (dealers, employees of the Porsche organization, etc.) already have seen the 997 recently, the official press pictures will be available soon (this month). No, I don't work for Porsche but I wish I did. They have very enthusiastic people working there who are very proud of their brand. Welcome to Rennteam.com.

Compared to this 997, I think the 996 will become a classic.
The 997 is basically a rework of the 993, after complaining customers wished for the old 993 style once they saw the new 996.
The 996 styling whether ugly or sexy, is more pure than this 997. The 996 styling was in the least, someone's idea of how a 911 should evolve whether good or bad, it was pure.
The fact that the 997 looks like this will I think definitely improve the 996's values in years to come. I hated the 914 when it first came out, now I love it, b/c it was so specially different in its desigin, which is what the 996 was and really, what the 911 design philosophy was all about to begin with.
Truly I think Porsche is taking a step backwards with this model. When the 998, 999 or future models come out, I don't see us revering this 997 model 10 yrs from now, as much as we are with the 993 now or as much as we would be the 996 in a few years.
I am sure most of you are extremely happy right now with this design, but its truly a "manufactured design", as are many designs today, see also 2005 Mustang, and tons of reto designs which seem to be the norm out there.
Bangle may be odd with his designs at BMW, but wasn't the 911 design also odd back in 1964? That is what makes the 911 great.

About that round watch on top of the dash: If that is a standard on every 911, then I will hate that car and turn away from Porsche entirely. No kidding.

and
Seems to come from the 300 store round the corner 
The only 993 design theme that I see is the air vent. It's pure 993 and far more integrated than that "stuck on look" that the 996/Boxster design has.
