997TT vs 991TT styling

I'm sure that technically 991 is very advanced with all the new improvements but the design looks too vanilla for my taste. It is too rounded, almost like turbo version of a Cayman. I feel like one day we will look back at the 997TT design and consider it as the best version of the water-cooled TT's similar to how 993's are arguably considered to be the best design of the air-cooled TT's.

I have to agree. Love the 993 and 997 models the best.

The Gen 1 997 do look dated, but the Gen 2 is still a better looking car to me. I really want me a 997.2 gt3rs right now.

The only bad thing about the 991TT is the fact the many of us can't afford it....

You must get passed by the .2s a lot because the only visible, on the road, is the rear bumper.

and from the front and side most people would confuse a 991 with a 997.

So how would a brand new 991TT improve your drive, or the driving experience?

Thats my measuring stick. I mean you dumped the TT for the Lambo so looks and prestige, yeah it would be worth it if that was your MO
