I do say, the Porsches of the 1900s are quite the charm.

 

most people belive the eye drop porsches are the most hideous models ever, i could se y but i stil adore the 996 rs

oo babay

 

My favorite Porsche by far is the 964, nothing can compliment that aggressive scary perfectionist look of the 964.. Can't explain it but it's beauty at its best.

The 996.2 is much more better than the 996 and I personally love the 996.2. It was a new approach by Porsche and it stole my heart. If getting a 996 is an option, it would be the 996 Turbo S.. I just LOVE IT.

 

You should get a 924

 

i like all the 911 models

 

I like them when they are very individualistic, colour paint to sample etc

 

I know exactly what you mean. To be honest, I really disliked the 996 at the time too. But honestly, I have no memory of the 993, but I do know what it's all about. The 996, for example, almost any one you find on eBay will look horrible and have bad build quality, and ugly color, and cost 30K, but I just can't help myself from this feeling of how much I like the car. I've really never thought of a Porsche as ugly. Probably, the928 and 924 were the worst looking, but still, they aren't ugly. And let me correct what I said when I said Porsche has a bad rep. What I meant was that they seem too, like everybody is saying how they hate Porsche's design, (followers of JC), however, Porsche seems to be regaining that feeling that I always get when I look at the 996. Particularly, a 996 looks perfect with an aerokit. Whether you like it or not though, if Porsche only did a minor change to the 993 for the 996 series, the 997 would probably have cheap build quality, and not be the prettiest Porsche around. All in all, the 996 plays a big role in the evolution of Porsche. Now tell me this car is ugly?




The 996 is still a Porsche, and that's I think what gets me drawn in.

The 924 shares too much with Volkswagen, and yes I know the 914 does too, but the 924 was more of a peoples car, and the 914 was more of a peoples sports car. Believe me though, I would consider a 924 though. A 914 is more than likely unrealistic.

And remember what I also said, "I'm so loyal in fact Porsche would still be my #1 even if they stopped building Porsches and re-badged Kias."

 

I'm with the OP on this one. When the 996 came out I thought it was one of the best looking cars on the market, I never really cared for Porsche when they were still making 993's because they looked too old fashioned. Over the years I gradually became more appreciative of the 993 design but I still have a soft spot for the 996, especially the Mk. II GT3 and the Sportec Turbo S like the one posted on the first page. I've never liked the design of the 997 Turbo, it reminds me of a frog and looks too heavy.



Visually at least the 996 to me is an expression of lightness, the whole car looks nimble yet powerful. And to me that's really at the core of what makes Porsche so great.

 

I agree. The rear and side looks nice, but there's something about the front that looks strange.

 

So.... to sum up then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we can all agree that the Panamera is motherfugly?
