I like the rear but does anyone else think its a little Aston Martin ish? The slit wedge lights and the harder edge around the tail. Just my first impression.

 

That side-by-side reminds me of the effect on a Crown Vic of mounting that front end work they need for law enforcement. If this is to meet a pedestrian safety regulation in EU, I would love to critique the supporting data for that reg. Looks offhand like a choice of the 997 taking off my feet or losing my lower legs entirely if hit by a 991. One must infer that leg removal absorbs enough additional energy to create a statistically significant reduction in the head and chest trauma when your flailing body hits the windshield. Either that, or all that design cost is associated with the occasional twit rolling into a crosswalk and bumping the ankles of some other twit walking along too distracted to notice an oncoming ton-and-a-half of metal.

You gotta love a protective government.

No we DON'T!!!

 

Looks more masculine from the front.... I more interested in the engineering part..... Any news on the hardware?

 

Im actually hoping they make the car a bit more GT than it is and save the absolute sport for the "GT" porsches...but thats just me. So if this thing ends up btw the current 911 and the panamera but without the hatch...id be happy...

 

Hey guys, I'm going to reserve judgement for the "up close and personal" view. i like the front, and the back might be cool, but i need to see it...can't wait!
