thought i might add my thoughts on the 997 having sat in one today...

exterior styling, very suspect, almost like a partially squashed and stretched herbie...
don't like the rounded boot lid.
don't like the diagonal join line from the rear bumper on the body. looks like a 19 year old design student penned that feature.
don't like door handles - unimaginative.
wing mirrors are stylish, 19" wheels are the nuts. interior is far too executive and dull and deserved no more comment other than to say it felt cramped and busy.
it could be any old executive snooze-mobile inside.
circular steering wheel thing is pants.
round headlights look duff.

looked at the carrera s which was sat next to a 996 4s, and would pick the 4s any day of the week. which is quite lucky really....

i shan't be getting one....

Carrera 4S boring, slow, lethargic and very understeery.

997S, Charasmatic, fun, involving and oversteery without driver aids

Carrera 4S old
Carera 2S New
