991 is growing on me day by day, but I agree with much of the detail discussion here. Weak spots to me are the slanted/asymmetric LEDs and sidemarkers. Don't mind the back too much.

One weird effect of the 991 is it makes me miss the 964. Maybe I can have one of each someday. In the meantime, still loving my 997.

Is that some sort of boo boo green? From a styling perspective, I would lose some of the insignia on the rear along with the Audi-R8 inspired LED headlights up front. Overall, not bad though.

Different. I like it! That's some big wheels.

The front end doesn't have a smile like the 997. The "face" looks like it's sad.

It kinda works for me...other than the color of course. And the horrid taillights.

Still prefer the 997 though

BUTT UGLY color. The front is just OK but disjointed, the rear is not OK and really disjointed, the profile is OK, and I like the idea of 20-inch wheels, but these are too generic (everyone has 10-spoke wheels - I was expecting something new and unique). Still disappointed

Hmmmm....you know, it doesn't look so bad in the op's post. But it is kind of ugly when the lime green rears its ugly head.

I could totally see this being a launch car and this being a repeat of the racing green incident.

They need to quit letting Stevie Wonder pick the launch colors.

Is it just me, or does the rear look BMWish (not saying good or bad -- just the lines and angles remind me of a Bimmer)?

Agree. 100%. Expand that last pic - side view, to where the most forward and aft sections are obscured. You can really see your analysis.

And ooofff those 20" wheels look like a handlebar mustache.....on a nun.

Somehow I don't hate the color completely. Never thought that'd be the case.
