Change History

IMHO from the 45 degree view of the side from the front, the car looks very attractive. But the other 2 views shown above (270 degree view of the front and 210 degree view of the rear) are awkward. If the front intakes were smaller, I would like the front view (Although less efficient, I prefer the smaller intakes from the 986. It makes the front end look too heavy.). On the side view, the front fender/quarter panel looks too high in relation to the door height. The rear spoiler is very strange. Too many creases/transitions at the rear bumper. I would have to chose the model insignia delete option. Too much advertising.

Other dislikes: Door mounted mirrors, oversized front intake vents and flattened wheel well arches (986 design much better). The color choices are lame. At least as shown on the configurator. I hope that they look better in person. None of the colors appeal to me.

Likes: The power increase and pound shedding. I [b]really[/b] like the interior. Definitely an upgrade over the 986. I am glad that they finally got rid of the oval vents. They did not blend well with the steep rake of the dash on the 987. I think that the center console looks good. But, there are lots of switches to attend to. Can you reach the ones on the north side of the stick shift, especially when the car is in 1st, 3rd or 5th gear? I like the better placement of the sports chrono. I prefer the retro 911 style of the door storage compartment as compared to the 986.

Other: Is the exterior door handle an expensive design and a potential difficult alignment spot, since it is placed between the flatter plane of the upper door panel and the steep crease of the door intake shape. Does the shape of the spoiler create a snag hazard when the rear trunk is open?

My configuration: $77,320. I like leather and most of the bells and whistles. :') A lot money for the extra power and speed versus my '00 S.
