I'll pass for now - good pics, but you know, it just doesn't scream BUY ME. And as US dealers often practice, they will consider this a NEW model, not a refresh (as it truly is) and will therefore expect MSRP on all of the first ones out of the shoot.

I think an '04 C4S Cab looks just as sweet.

The wheels are too busy for me--looks like they have 10 lug bolts each!

Didn't think you could design a wheel that could look busier than the Lambo Gallardo's . If you stick some playing cards in the holes at the ends of the spokes, maybe it will make a nice nostalgic " fwup-fwup-fwup " sound as you roll down the street , like we did on our bicycles when we were kids .

Nice and evolutionary, which will be great for us 996ers.

I wonder if those wheels are just distractors, they really look out there for Porsche.

Nice conservative evolution of the 996 shape. The wheels look terrible and need to go back to the design shop.
