Loved the 997 article in Autocar this week.

Looks great, except for the round bits:
1. roadwheels are horrible (but guess turbo looks optional)
2. steering wheel boss is so beetleesque and horrid (but guess 996 three spoke lookalike optional)
3. front lamp bezels ungainly (but guess body colored surround optional).

Never have options been so desireable.

I read this today. Its hard to see how the 997 is not going to be, (arguably) the best 911 ever.

I'm sitting with the magazine in question in front of me now. I rather like the wheels! I imagine they'll let you have different wheels for a sizeable fee - all part of the strategy!

The only part of the styling I'm not sure about are the mirrors. Everything else I'm sure I could bring myself to live with
