aesthetically speaking, if that is the final cut, it's a very smooth looking car. I like the 356ish trunk lid and the rear tail lights that don't go all the way over to the engine cover. Also the interior has a very "balanced" look to it. I say, well done, except for the "turboish" look front grilles. I liked them better when they were a bit more recessed. I hope the 997 doesn't come out looking like a Boxster on steoids
