Thanks and thoughts.
Yes it does look 20 inches! Very nice pics.
Looks like the roof is a cary over from the 996 which is fine considering it's probably the best fabric roof out there anyway.
Overall, I really like the 997, I love the interior, quality looks AAA, the rear is fantastic, those hips!
but I can't help but be slightly disappointed with the front, I don't like the front spoiler (remember I posted a while ago that it must be a camoufalge spoiler, well no, it's the real thing 
) and I prefer the simplicity of a single light cluster rather than a rounds light and then another unit below it. Retro or not actually.
In the EVO issue, there are some very nice pics of the 997 unseen before and one with a 996 next to a 997, my GF said pointing at the 996 that the new 911 looks much slicker than the old one!
My perfect combo would be 996 front with GT3 front spoiler with 997 interior and rear
This is all based on design of course as I am sure that technically and dynamically, the 997 is a huge improvement.
Improvement on perfection, I like that!
I think I'll wait for the S body styles (Turbo or C4S) but coupe this time probably, humm, we'll see.
And of course the F430 will be interesting to have an eye on, oh, here we go again!
Gosh, and I still have to learn how to drive mine!

Re: New 997 Cabrio Spy Photos
Why do they still bother camo-ing (if that is a word 
) I mean, it is not like they camoed the parts different from the normal 997; the roof... they camoed the parts that we all know already...:dunno:
-Joost-
ps; thanks for the pics! I don't like cabs, but the pics are very welcome!

Dude, there is a whole department in Weissach which is specialized in camo-ing cars, they have to do that as long as the official press pictures aren't out. I know this is somehow ridiculous regarding the 997 Cab but this also keeps the suspense high and tells people on the street: look, a new Porsche.
