But all is irelevant, the 911 wasn't intended as a beauty queen and it's quite nice and functional the way it is.

Dude, you're in over your head.... as usual... Stop trying to argue for the sake of arguing and learn to respect others opinions instead of trying to correct them because you disagree.

But what's more pointless than arguing about the looks of the 911, and a FL non the less ?!

So it's like a bloated 993, so what ?!

When the Porsche boys made it they must have had some reason to make it like a bloated whale. Made the safety regulations in the various countries it sells in, or maybe aerodynamics, who knows.

Respecting opinions !!!

Well I respect the fact that others get in over their heads, so respect mine.

Thing is, that given the choice between the guys at Porsche (arguably the most succesfull/best auto company) and a guy "called" Deutsch, I'd side with
the Porsche guys.

Now call me crazy, call me getting over my head, but, I belive the Porsche boys have done a proper job and their product will continue to be a succes.


It's 911 for the name of God.

I think you guys are misunderstanding each other.

Porsche doesn't need to radically alter the 911, it will sell regardless of how it looks, because its a 911. The 996 sold like crazy despite all the changes in traditional elements like air-cooled engines, round headlamps and stretched bodies. Nobody can deny that the 997 is a bad looking vehicle, or that its a bad performing car despite stretched dimensions and technology-loaded frame.

Superb looking FL, the front indicators etc have been integrated better overall.

Thanks Sasha. The -face lifted 911 is going to be awesome, especially the Targa which I think is the most beautiful car in the line up.
