998

the rear looks sweet. 3.4 liter in the base model is interesting.

I think Porsche does a great job in making only subtle changes in the shape. That looks great!

Hate the front. Looks like an Audi.

Not impressed. I like the rear of my 996 much better and I agree with Tarzancoe about the front.

I don't like it either. I would much rather have my 996. The rear looks luxery to me. I like the aggressive look of the 996 and 997. One car I think looks great is that new lexus super car they just came out with.

I like the back, but the front does have to much WiFi inspiration.
