RE: 2019 Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied testing
Discussion
Rear deck and window is a mess of proportions. Way way to high and pinched, whilst the window shape has no relationship to the panels around it.
Vs the 718 Boxster it's a whale
I thought it looked bad then I looked up images of the 991 Cab and realised it's the same
And I quite like the proportions of the 991 Cab. Who knew.

We’re in a time of no delicacy, simplicity or grace!
+1 We're losing / have lost, at least aesethically, the essence of a 911. Where will the bloated up, supersizing of each new generation end (in every car segment) ? Is it regs, or is this what the public actuallly want?We’re in a time of no delicacy, simplicity or grace!

A 996 gen car is looking pretty attractive ...

The main reason the 992 looks like it does can be traced all the way back to 2009 and decision by Porsche to go after the GT-R using the 911 and not creating a real 928 replacement.
As for whether the car is worth £90k over a 996 i would suspect that as a whole package that from the drivers seat, the 992 will make the 996 feel like an outdated relic. That said, i would not be able to drive a £120k 992 down most welsh roads without breaking into a cold sweat.
What a messy looking thing not that it matters for the blinkered for whom the image & badge is all that matters.
Colours do seem odd & coloured fabric roofs always very after-market looking.
The Targa is so much more elegant, although I gather very blustery with the roof panel stowed.

'Spied' eh? One is bright f
king green and the other has a bright red roof. The only way to make them more obvious to the waiting press would have been putting the red roof on the green car.
All this 'spy' song and dance is a bit tired.
LOL so true. You’d have thought they’d have used a black car with a black roof if they didn’t want the paps following. They’re not stupid, so we can only guess they wanted the photos out now the cars are running round with no camo. king green and the other has a bright red roof.
