I do like that interior. It might almost be a little too luxury and too little sporty though. The outside looks, well, like a 911 - which is good.

Looks a bit longer than previous 911s. I like it. The interior is definitely very nice, but it does almost lose the sportiness that the 911 should have.

Well did you notice no hand brake. How I'm going to power slide this car without the hand brake?

interior, while nice, IMO is another step away from sports and more luxury. So many buttons its ridiculous...your going to really have to read the manual now

your so right, but the outside didnt really change that much in my eyes(as expected), and as far as the interior, its not new to me because its practically the same in my Panamera....

It's totally beautiful. Will only look better over time, particularly when Gt3RS and TT come out with the wider rear haunches. It's a Thumbs up everywhere imo! The only drawback I've noticed so far is the look of the sunroof when opened. I better start saving my pennies.

Not sure I like it! Lights are too bubbly, the over all length is too long and then having all the buttons on the center console squeezed in the the folding edge in front of the shifter... how are you suppose to get to them... Not a fan at all.

Step backwards if you ask me...

I think my 997TT just went up in value!

Not impressed either with the exterior looks compared to the 997. I'll have to wait for the IAA Frankfurt next month to see it in real life.

Also, why do they still bother with those stupid gear buttons on the steering wheel?

Now there's a point i'd have to agree with. Maybe the parts bin is still full. Anyway I'm sure you can option up the paddles though or better still just get the manual tranny .

I bet the most popular option is going to be "Model Designation Delete". There's a whole book on the back of that car. Looks absurd.

I don't like the interior or exterior. The real test for me will be how I feel after seeing it for a few months because sometimes it takes some time for new models to grow on someone. But right now, nope.
