Actually liking the front. NOT digging the Tesla rear-end nor the door mounted Corvette mirrors.

New Forum?
Note to 6S0: Maybe time to start a 991 Link... easy to reference all new material.

I am not that excited about it. I think they really got the 996 and 997 right, and I have a hard time moving on. Just me.

Interesting color. Looks more green in some shots, thus the "lime"...

When my son was an infant I believe this car was in his diaper (color-wise). I guess I'm the only one but I like the rear.

The rear lights are awful....they really missed the boat on this entire design IMO! Hate the color....overall it's just OK. I feel like it's a 996 miss. I don't know....maybe it'll grow on me like the Panamera but this is a 911....I'm supposed to be GaGa just seeing it.

I'll keep my 997 thank you!

Tom

Like the profile; Just ok on the front; Hate the rear.. I might change my mind in front of the real thing but I remember loving the 997 the first time I saw a picture of it.

I really don't like the rear end. That little curved lip above the tail lights and below the rear deck is just not right. It is so subtle that it almost comes off as a panel fit issue...

My guess is that they didn't want to diverge too much from the classic rear end so they made it only like 1/2 inch in depth. Anyhow, I don't like that detail. 993/997 rear is much nicer IMHO.

Lime Gold Metallic...this is another one of those colors that makes you question "Who the F%^& is selecting colors over at Porsche???" There's another color coming with the 991 in this category: Cognac.

I'm not sure I've seen a single thing with the 991 that makes me want one. MAYBE the interior...MAYBE. The front is bloated. The rear is bland & generic.

My GTS will be a beloved part of the family for years to come. The 991 is the new 996 to me. Technically is progress, but characteristically it's a misfit.
