"Rememeber that first model that Porsche made after the 993.... that was a mistake...even Porsche figured that out....Thank god Porsche changed the look back to more of a 993 with that 2005 car...."

Could be, but time marches on. Eventually the 993 (and 996 for that matter) will be just another fondly remembered antique. Hell, the 993 interior already takes me back to high school. Get in that thing and you have flashbacks to borrowing dad's car for the prom.

I wouldn't be surprised to see CGT style headlights on the 998.
