Even though I love my 996 and it only has 2500 miles on it, I think the 997 looks great too. If these pics are real it seems like a small facelite with some 993 influence.

No complaints here. I just hope the resale values aren't affected.

Snow tires? Or 17" version of the Carrera lightweights?

I personally like the new front bumper. Looks more aggressive

Looks good, but the rear lights look to be disproportionate to the rest of the rear.It is just a spy shot though.

They probably figure that no one will be hanging around out in the cold to take spy photos.
