IMO i take the current one(996) over this one anyday.
996 looks prefect to me and everythings flow right. current (996) 911 turbo is my dream car

The back kind of looks like the back of a dog taking a dump. reminds me of the crossfire

Eh, not doin' much for me. I prefer the Porsches of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.

Not even Porsche is immune from a serious case of the Glory Days. They join the list of BMW, MB, Lexus, etc., car manufacturers who have seen better designs in previous years.

Unlike the other companies you mentioned, Porsche at least had the sense to stick to the timeless design of the 911, even with the switch to the liquid-cooled engine. This idea that you have to change or die is, in my opinion, a bunch of nonsense. Lexus, I believe, messed up the SC430 when they redesigned it, and BMW's Chris Bangle I-Drives ?!!!........case closed.

I prefer the 996. I hate this retro look.
