    Actually, I have them in 1600x1200, but had to resize them for posting. I'll try to put a zipfile with the original ones somewhere, and post the link here.

    A real beauty in seal grey. I must admit, the more I see it, the better I like it, even if it doesnt ressemble as much the 993 as I would have liked.
    Thx for sharing Pierre.



    Then why don't you get a 993?

    The ones you posted are bigger than the forum shows inline, if you open them in another window you get them full size.

    Re: Saw the 997 today!

    Thanks for sharing the pics. Car looks good, but it would have been great if you had taken pictures of the other two cars standing next to the 997, the 996Cab on the right and the 996Turbo on the left, so that we could have an ideia of the differences between models.

    The Turbo in the background looks so aggressive in PIC 1 compared to the pudgy " friendly " face of the 997 . Ferrari 612 and 420 are showing smiley faces also . Sorta like body styling by the guy who does the Chevron cars :
    The Chevron Cars




    Cars are not "Cartoons", so......some of us do not care if the resemblance of the lights are "sweet" or "bitter".....a 100 K decission goes to further.....in the way to much deeper and more serios considerations.

    A car is, at least for me, mainly for driving it........

    Because the 997 is the better car, and the 993 "looks" old.
    Don't get me wrong, I really like how the 997 looks.
    But new generations always grow in length, and the rear looks a bit bulky. That's about it. Didn't want to offend anyone's feelings about the 997
    But like I already said in my first post, the more I see it, the more I like it. I am already convinced that it is the best looking Porsche so far. Can't wait to see it at the dealer.

    Amen to that... I'm not a big fan of "I-smile-at-everything-cars" neither.

    I just noticed that these pics made it into the latest AutoSpies newsletter. Pierre, you might wanna talk with them about copyright?

    I really like the new interior. It's a beautiful car!

    Think the S will be sold more than the standard Carrera.
