    As with many other cars it looks better in dark colours.

    I'm sure when we will see the car in 3D it will be a real imposing beast. Not as clean as the GT3 (except the wing) but it will nice and agressive. my 2cents

    think it would be nice to change some of the GT3 fascia onto the TT.. I agree, the new TT is way too busy in its lines

    Re: 997TT First Impression

    Photos don't do the car justice. I had an open mind when I went to Geneva and in the metal it really looks great compared to the pictures. For a start, most of the photos you see in the press are taken at a low level making the car look taller and bigger than it is. The reality is different. Think of your 911 but with aggression. It's not elegant but it does look what it is: Powerful, fast but classy if perhaps a bit contrived and less pure than the 911/s. Colours change its character too. The basalt car at the show (upstairs) looked IMHO completely different from the silver car downstairs. Smaller, less fussy, more discrete. Like the wheels: The photos don't do them justice. As RC said a long time a go this is a car you have to really see for yourself. No magazine has yet done it justice. The photo below shows how the intercooler intake need not 'scream' at you if you don't want it to be so 'in your face'.
