Christ, the dust has hardly settled from the main cars launch.

Neat design, still struggle with the front eye brows a little. Maybe in the metal they make more sense.

Let the 991, new model launch per month sequence begin!

Looks great and should push 997 cab prices down to where I need them to be over the coming year wink

Thanks Stuttgart smile

This is probably what I'll be trading to in a couple of years' time. Unless something equally capable (as a daily driver) and prettier shows up in the meantime!

When the 991 was first announced, I was genuinely concerned that I'd feel an overwhelming need to ditch the 997 and trade "up", but I really don't like the squinty rear lights and the overly-surprised front...

So, another thanks to Stuttgart from me too wink

I like a lot about the new 991 but for me, the DRLs ruin the front and although it has somewhat retained the 991 silhouette, much of what I really liked in the older cars has disappeared even further in this latest generation.

I'm all for technological progress but did they really need to use a blancmange mould to design it...

A new S at £90k before options means there shouldn't be too much pressure on the 997 smile

Someone looking at a new 991S Cab with any decent options will be paying £100k any day, with no discount.
