Last Friday the launch of the new 997 took place here in Germany. Looks very nice close up. The interior is also very nice and good quality. The door trims/layout do remind me of my 993tt and even the window switches have been moved to the doors just like the 993. I like the new round headlamps together with the alloys that were on the Carrera S that I looked at. They have a few cars here in Black, Silver and a metallic Grey. A bit wider at the back than the 996 makes it look a bit shorter. Gear lever is round just like.....993.

Looks very nice in my opinion.

I'll try and get a test drive over the next couple of weeks

I will definitely test drive one when they land in the UK.
I think they look best in siver or grey. I haven't seen any pics of black ones. Yellow doesn't look right I reckon.
I quite like the interior but I'm not sure about either steering wheel they are offering.

Saw them going around the 'ring pre-launch on a manufacturer test day. Go for the S - that looked and sounded very healthy in action.
