Re: 991 spyshots thread (continued) (for UNRELEASED models only)
Porker:
I'm still completely sold on the 997.1 rear lights, not so much on those of the 997.2, ...The 991 lights look very good when lit, the overall shape I'm still not entirely convinced. I like them more than the 997.2 lights for sure.
I'm with you 100% Porker!
To me, the rear of the facelifted 997 always appeared as what it is: cosmetic change for the sake of change.
The design curves of the rear lights were spot on with the 997.1. From the front, I like the 997.2 better, as they neatly aligned the directionals.
About the 991... I understand what Easy means; because they are so slender, they make the rear bumper appear weirdly high... hopefully they will set things right with the facelift, but if history is an indication of the future, then I do not have high hopes!
Also, they seem to be making the same mistake with the C4S again: in the 997 series they had to jump through hoops to fit the reflector strip in (I think that was the main reason to make the rear lights of the 997.2 so weird). Now on the 991 the rear lights have the right shape for a reflector strip that is just as high as the rear lights cluster, and then they apply this really weird slender strip that doesn't make sense again... Sometimes Porsche Design department really takes decisions that I don't understand...
