Thanks for the photos. I don't like the mirrors or the wheels but the round lights are much better - never liked the turbo lights on the face lift 996. How long before the 998 ? hmm... not sure. the rear light clusters look out of proporion to the rest of the rear. the front light are clearly harking back to the pre 996, but again don't quite seem to work. i'll skip this one and wait for the 998 (?) which in understand is 3 years away. by all accounts this car seems to be a stopgap.
not too sure about this, which is a shame `coz I`m on the list (although expecting delivery in c.2025!).
I know porsche are evolvers rather than revolutionaries but, to me, this doesn`t seem to be much of a develoment over what is already not the prettiest porker.
Should help 996 residuals tho`!.

They should have done the classic P-O-R-S-C-H-E reflector strip across the back, like with the real 911s 
you certainly can't beat those reflectors. i think they look particularly cool on the 996 c4s
now that's a grrreat car.
Yeah, see what I mean. The C4S looks great compared to normal 996s.
on the subject of rear reflectors, has anybody got or seen a 996 in the flesh that has been fitted with the reflector that cargraphic make ???

It was the reflector that did it for me with the 993. it makes the right kind of statement for the car.
regarding the new look, i can;t say i like those round frames around the headlights, if they just dropped them and let the lights just sit into the metal like they do on the beautiful 993, then i think it wouldnt look so like a beetle. If they also dropped the bettle/Carrera GT boot lid and let that run down to the top of the bumper, then i may think about trading in my 993 for one. Otherwise they can keep it, at this rate the 998 will look like just another Mercy Bends SL Whatever...

Maybe it's my age, but I think the 996 is probably the best looking of the 911s. I think the shaped headlights really complement the whole form - the round ones just look a bit boring. From what I can see on the 997, it looks pretty similar to the 996 but with the round lights, so a big step down! Also doesn't it look like the shoulders are very square? Getting even fatter!
