Re: OT: So what do the Porsche fans make of the new 911

Don't like it; looks like soneone's sat on a 997 and squashed the roof.

: 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
