    Well, here in SW London that bumper would be ripped off by the first speed bump it was driven over...

    It certainly looks better. Then again, just about any mod would improve the look of this homely beast.

    BTW isn't this the CGT bumper?

    Oh no, Impossible! It looks really good but TOO special.

    Then Porsche would use up all it's marketing tricks. That is, they'll have fewer easily observable design differences to implement so as to distinguish subsequent models as being better or more desireable.

    It's funny everybody wants the 911 iconic shape, but Porsche feels each model that costs more MUST have some recogniseable differences.

    Would you buy a turbo that looked exactly like the 997S (except for some _minor_necessary_ differences)?

    I would. Less attention is better when driving $100K or more of fancy/powerful sports cars on public roadways on a routine (non-Ferarri) basis
