Funnily enough I was discussing this with a colleague this morning.
A local house that I have to go past when I walk the dog has just got the current 2011 model (not the one 'new' shown here), and I think I prefer it to this new design. I say that, I've not seen the front properly, but the rear of it is much nicer IMHO. Especially the lights.

: Don't quite know how, after 993, 996 and 997, we come back to 991
: but there you go.

: The silhouette is pretty classic of course, can't see any 911 fan
: taking much issue with that.

: Some might hanker for more upright headlights I guess, but I think
: aerodynamics and pedestrian regs have left those days behind.

: And I like the rear:

: Looks modern, restrained, not over-elaborate.

: Not sold on the front yet though, the placing of the indicators
: directly over the air intakes I find a bit jarring.

: Might be colour sensitive, it doesn't bother me as much on the
: silver car:

: Will be interesting to see how they differentiate the turbo this
: time around, those indicators look like what they might have
: done for the turbo to me.

: Quite like it overall though, better than the 996's "fried
: eggs"... Will wait for the GT3 before I decide I guess,
: could well be the sweet spot of the range again.
