^^ lol

Hell it still works, why make drastic changes? They are not the only ones the G35/G37 looks very similar. On the other hand why go stupid with design and make megatron turds like Acura's?

The 911 is an amazing example of simplicity and progression. It doesn't bore me at all and parked side by side the differences are pretty obvious.

Takes quite a bit of aerodynamic engineering to make a car stable at 190 mph. Plus, it's a classic design - why mess with it?

I love the lines, but I'm biased

yea - maybe "tobasco" for a southwest theme
had a lot of fun with it Sunday on some twisty's in some nearby mountains
wife said she used her "drivers ed brake" about a dozen times something about 500 ft cliffs with no guard rail makes her uneasy
on the way home had some fun with a cool guy in a Z4....0-100 had him by 5 or 6 car lengths

I see a drastic change. Hell, it looks like a Mitsubishi Eclipse with a Porsche kit on it.

Agreed, the 911 needs to continue to look like a 911.
