I have been frantically scouring the web for any new 991 information and pictures.

Does anyone else feel a bit funny about that snout and the headlights? I know they're disguised but there's a worrying look to them, I think. I'll also have to acclimatise to the size and length of the new car.

Otherwise, looks sleek! :D

Agreed. I'd actually prefer a longer front overhang, a shorter wheelbase overall and the rear end could squat a bit lower. If they could shrink the car to something the size of a Singer 911, or a 993 :thumbs:

If they grow the next generation again, I might just get a petition going and hand it to Stuttgart :hand:
 
You can see they have moved the front wheel forward, but does not look great to be honest. The more spy shots I see of the inside and out it is still not growing on me yet. I hope to be proved wrong when they finally get it unwrapped at the show.
 
To be honest there isn't really another direction Porsche could take the 911, it looks almost exactly like I (most people? everyone?) thought it would - very much like a 911, a lot of the detail has changed, but nothing has actually really changed that much. In isolation all the panels and details may be different but as a whole it still looks very very much like a 911.

I'll write you the review now; 'new 911 is bigger, more refined, better quality interior, faster, greener / cleaner, easier to drive than ever, but it's lost some of the old cars magic'. :grin:
