column shift and looks like the mid console pulled from the panamera. Nice.

Don't think I like the new sunroof. New intake is cool and finally the way it should've been from the start.

WOW at that last video!
You can basically see what the rear tailights will look like at night as the guy breaks inside the tunnel. Very cool. The car sounds great. The rear wing is MASSIVE! I think I prefer the subtlety of my 997's rear spoiler, but I'm sure the 991's will be functionally superior by multiples.

I think it's ugly, just my opinion, it might look wider but it sure doesn't look like it in the video. I sure hope that is not the final product.

I like it - it's a Porsche, what's not to like. On the other hand, the 2+" extra width, and the 4" extra in the wheelbase confirms what I was told a month or so ago by someone well connected in the business. To whit, the 911 is becoming Porsche's "Grand Touring" car, and their real, true, honest to gosh 'sports car' will become the Cayman.

At this point, I'm glad I bought a 997.. I may change my mind after I see one.. or maybe not.
