It's not the angle of the photo. I think reginos has got it exactly right.  The storage space for the hardtop convertible was designed first and the coupe was designed afterward around the space provided.  I also cannot envision a 993 from what we've seen of the 991 thus far. The 911 appears to be headed into a new direction for the 21st Century IMHO.
