This looks like it should be the 991 and the 991 actually the 992. What I mean is this thing looks dated to me and the 991 looks newer/better.

The car looks beautiful and well planted....I am sure this car will be a winner. Thanks Anglo for that post.

Not crazy about the rear end, especially the tail lights.

It looks huge!

I don’t know if it’s bigger than the current 911, or maybe I’ve been looking at too many 70’s/80’s 911’s lately.

It probably looks huge because of (1) the close-up camera perspective, and (2) the beefier flanks of a higher-performance model.

Without all the black tape, I think it'll beat expectations when seen on the street.

Exactly. Really the only part I've seen that I truly like.

Yet, you will see countless units on the road and this conversation will repeat itself when the new refresh/model comes out.

Its like this every cycle and with all different makes and models.

Especially when the 2015 Mustng was coming out yet its probably the most popular version of the Mustang ever.

We have a 2017 991 and most likely get a 992 in a year when the lease is up and we will have no choice as that will be the only 911 available.

I saw one testing down in LA last week and I will say it looked and sounded much better in person. I tried to catch up for some photos/video but I was on a bike and it took off rather quickly.

I love it. Hope to own one with a 7MT in the next few years.
