Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
Porsche designer = easiest job ever.
"Hey, Hans, time for a 911 facelift." "Ja, Ja. No time. Getting ready for Oktoberfest so let's just say we did a facelift!" "Genius, Hans. Call the photographers and off to the pub we go until next year." This iteration, no change at all. Just a claim of a change. Awesome. |

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
I'd rather Porsche come back out with a revised 928. 911's have almost always made me snooze. Except for a few years in the '80s with the early C4's, the Corvette has always been a better car in my eyes.
Of course there is the conversion to put a 350 into older 911's... http://www.renegadehybrids.com/911/911.html

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
Did they change something?
With Vettes at least it's easy to tell one generation from another.

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
I'd hit it. If it ain't broke ...
I got my Vette, so this would be next on the list.

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
Tail lights look...cheap? I dont like that little kick up that they do.
Front end looks like trash. The intergrated blinkers in the bumper looked like they were tacked on. Not a fan, the current 911 looks great.

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
Looks great. I love 911's.
Here is the old model for people who are blind  :  The front updates are less noticeable, but the split vents in the bumper are no more and are integrated with the turn signals. The taillights curve upward on the inner bottom corners, and the bumper no longer has those extensions.

Re: Official: Porsche 911 Facelift
I've never gotten the fascination with 911s. Were I to buy a foreign sports car a Ferrari would be at the top of the list. Of all the Porsches, only the GT is of any interest to me.
But to each their own. But I would love to comprehend why people are so enamoured with the 911 stylistically. It makes no sense to me. |

I'd rather have a Porsche. For me, the reason I like the 911's design is also the same reason I like the Corvette's design. Even if it looks modern, it still captures the same spirit as its classic predecessors. Last edited by AG3 : 06-06-2008 at 12:22 PM. |
