Launch party is here tonight!
We have the release event here tonight, some biggies from Porsche are in town, and the setup began today. Looking good. I sat in the 997S finally, first time. Definitely better in person.
The Good:
Rear Fender Hips
Engine on the S is awesome
Seats were very comfortable
Good leather craftsmanship
Awesome audio, in comparison to past systems
The Bad:
Headlights look wrong, still
19" wheels look like crap
Window switches are wrong, on driver door
Center console is too busy
Rear Center Console is too ugly
Front end needs more aggressive styling/grille
Ride height with 19's is silly - at least 2" too high
The Ugly:
Steering wheel belongs on a Mini
Otherwise, a very nice interpretation of the 911. Not for me, very happy I have the '04 C4S Cab. But I'll give them a couple years to get this right. By then, who knows?
Anyway - here are a few shots of the eye candy everyone is seeing nowadays:
