I actually prefer the non-squinty rear lights of the 997.1 Turbo, so I think the new car is actually uglier when the shrek ears are also brought into the mix...

Looking closely at the rear shot I have to agree. 997.1 rear lights for the win!

I think the real draw of the 997.2 Turbo is the PDK.

If you want a six speed, I see no reason to trade up or buy a 997.2 Turbo.

Find a low mile 997.1 Turbo from 2008-2009 and mod it just a bit. Same car.

Nice comparo.

Same thing happened with BMW - the LCI 3ers have "dumbo ear" large mirrors. Thanks to the new DOT regs.
