It is funny that people start to use now the same arguments regarding the 997 some other people were using when the 996 showed up, replacing the beloved 993.
This actually means only one thing: it is the same "the old one was the better one bragging" which happens every time when Porsche puts a new 911 on the market.
We talk again next year.



IMO it's different this time. the 996, when introduced, was abused and attacked by the press and the general public as far as i remember.

it was a brave and modern design -- but it had to grow on you. and it did.

contrary to this, the 997's design is neither brave or modern but receives a lot of instant acclaim from press! at least this is my impression.

i would have guessed that the people are standing in line to get one. but -strangely- they aren't.

i don't think it will get better in the future. as i already posted some time ago, i guess that the 997 will age quite fast.

the 911 heritage is not about round headlights with separated indicators.
