Thanks to my man the Plug Guy we have this information - the interior for one looks real - let the bashing or 997 Praising begin folks

 

Gotta get me one...of course it's gotta be a TT!!!!

 

Last time I checked, my name was not the Plug Guy https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...?threadid=7237

 

I like it. Looks like they're going back to the traditional volkswagen style door handles, looks good

 

LOL - Great catch as well thanks!

 

I'm not feeling the front head light. I do like how the rear flares out alot.

 

I think I would opt for a price falling low milage 996 before buying a new 997...

Exterior looks like a 996 & a 993 had a one night stand and one of them obviously had their beer goggles on...

I'm sure it will sell as the 996 did even though the 993 loyalists hated it... To refined they said...

 

I'm not lovin it yet......

 

The front looks too much like a VW bug. I'll reserve my final decision for after I've seen one in person, but right now, I don't think I like it too much.

It appears that Porsche has finally moved away from using the Audi climate control.

I am liking that interior. Very nice

 

Here's what I'm hearing: I have friendly sources, one of whom has been in the car. That person tells me the interior is what we see, and should be what's on the production car. Another tells me the exterior is heavily disguised.

Problem is, the only disguising I can see is the taping of the front signals/fogs, and the taping of the rear tail lights and part of the bumper. The rear deck lid looks TechArt or similar - fewer fins, more air space, and the hump is more bulbous. Otherwise the cab boot cover looks the same, the canvas top looks the same, and the doors/fenders are mirrors of the 996. Just front/rear fascia change.

I'm expecting the front lights to NOT look like what's here - but to be more Carrera GT-ish - stretched ovals.

But again, we were told months ago that this would be a refresh, nothing much more.

I don't dig it. Even if it has 345-350hp, the look I see here would not be enough to get me to buy. But much to be seen in the coming weeks.

Oh yeah, and I can't take credit for the pics. Others posted them earlier today elsewhere, from I believe UK Car Mag or others.

 

Sorry, but I'm really not feeling this new, or rather "old" design. But I'll hold off all final judgement till I see the new Turbo.

 

Yeah, it looks like they really are getting back to their roots because the front end and the back end say, "Volkswagen".

 

I like it so far - I have always been a huge fan of the 993

 

The exterior looks like a 993 with a spoiler kit.
The great thing about Porsche is, model changes are very subtle, I sure won’t feel like I’m driving an outdated car when the new models comes out.
