955, 957 & 958

Based purely on exterior appearance (stock & modified), which one do you think is the best looking among the three generations?

my wife like the 955 Turbo the most, esp this Techart version


I like the 957 GTS (red).


but also like the new 958?

front of 958, rear of 957.

the techart 955 looks worse than stock form.

I'm partial to the 958, the redesign of the int and ext did it for me. After driving it for 6 months, best car I've ever owned. I like the stock looks of 955, but prefer the 957 of the two.

Having seen a 955 sitting right next to a 957 I like the 955 best.

Look at the 957 closely and the whole think looks like a cheap body kit on the 955. Front fenders don't flow into the doors right.

The 958 just looks too generic at this point. Too much like an Acura or Hundia

How'd you take the pic of my CTT 2011? exact specs.

I vote the new 2011. Having had the GTS this is superior on every way IMHO.

I like 'em all. But I have to say I probaby won't consider the new 958 when I'm ready to replace my 955. I've mistaken them for the Lexus RX way too many times. Just too 'mass-pleasing' design for me.

Totally agree and I've owned all three. '04 Turbo, an '09 Turbo S and now the '11 Turbo.

958 has the cleanest design of the three in my opinion.

I like the 955 rear and the 957 front. Just the other day I saw what I thought was a new Pepper and drove quickly to catch up to ...... the new Hyundai truck. There is no question the new Cayenne is a great looking car and the interior is spectacular vs the old ones but I like the "Porscheness" of the older style. Soon getting in the market for a new Turbo Pepper and looking at 2010 as that is what I prefer.

front of the 958 droops too much. the 957 front is more upright and clean

droopy vs perky - i know what i like more!
