As long as they offer a sunroof delete it'll be a winner.

Not feeling it from the initial pictures, probably have to see it in the flesh before passing final judgement.

I like the rear lights' look, thiner, edgier, but the wheels are getting too big IMHO.

Why does the front splitter look so rounded? Is it less aggressive aero? Better fuel economy?

It seemed to me that all the recent 2nd GEN Porsches had more aero while this one "seems" to have less.

looks fine. cant see it being a problem selling them.

the 996 and 997 used market will undoubtedly feel the 991.

now, will the 991 be more desirable then a 997?

only time will tell.

perhaps the 997 is the last of the manual transmission GT cars? gotta be worth something right?

I saw several completely undisguised examples in person over the weekend at Weissach and I thought they looked spectacular.
