I guess my view probably won't agree with most But... (You asked!!)..
I never really liked the 996 4S. I think those vents in the rear bumper date the car. And I am glad they didn't put them onto the 997. As for the rest of the car, I quite like the 997. I am glad they haven't carried any of the old 996 4s/turbo features over.
The extra 44mm looks so slight on the pictures (then again, the standard 997's rear end looks so much better in the flesh that in pics), that I am happy that with my order having been placed for a 997S (Rather have the aerokit, then spend the extra money on 4wd and a fat arse)
More to the point, I didn't really expect much other than this. As we know, the last C4S was aesthetically a turbo, without the turbo. The likelihood of this happening here was about nil. As Porsche have proved. (Maybe it will happen when the turbo has been released?)
But, Porsche know, that there are so many people out there waiting for a C4s, it wouldn't have made sense to release a 'turbo look' car. As it would have to be after the release of the turbo. And they want sales!
So, all in all quite glad really. Hell, if i had looked stunning (and made the standard S look weak), I'd have had to move my deposit to a 4S instead. And I can't wait any longer. The 9 month wait I have is long enough!!
I wonder if this will cause 997S waits to increase or drop?
Just my opinion!
