    AT LAST!!!!

    RC: My first impression is that you where right. I think that maybe we are in front of the nicest Carrera ever made

    I still have to "swallow" a lot, but I'm very, very excited!

    Thanks RC. That red Carrera S looks amazing. The interior also looks better in a dark colour compared to the beige one seen in the previous spy pics. Still not sure about the clock though. Don't think I'd order it.

    I'll take the red one immediately.

    Well.. does the S has a different (wider) body than the standard carrera or not?

    These pics are too artificial for my taste...

    Re: 997 Pictures and Infos NOW AVAILABLE!!!

    Thanks, RC. This is a great write-up.

    Love the look and the dimensions. Love the wider stance and love the rear quarter angle, with that more muscular shoulder. Like the new lights and I don't think they're retro for being oval but I do think they look cleaner.

    I like the interior and think it's probably better integrated than the 996. The only thing I see that I don't much care for is the steering wheel, which looks a bit minivan like for my taste. Would have prefered a more muscular, purposeful look.

    But thanks for doing this! Why today and not tomorrow?

    Thanks RC, I actually like the interior and love the new headlights, but think the grill is a bit busy. But overall very nice. Where are those GT3 pics!

    Re: 997 Pictures and Infos NOW AVAILABLE!!!

    Thanx for the pics ...

    It is quite clear ... you have to go for 19'' wheels with the 997 ... looks great on the red car ...

    I like the cut of the body at the rear better than the front. Don't like the oval lights ... too much retro for my taste.

    The interieur makes a better impression on me than what we have seen before on spy shots.

    Looking forward to see it live !!!
