What a joke. I've driven it and I can tell you it doesn't drive like a "luxobarge". Not only that, the dimensions are hardly bigger at all.

Wheelbase, front track "enhancements", pdk-only launch (sends a strong signal), electric steering... Hopefully the GT3 will be salvaged, but Porsche is going farther and farther down a path that will prevent me from buying anything newer than a 7 GT3.

That car does not appeal to me at all.
When it comes time to switch I'm going to go backwards with 993. I see this as a big error. Porsche could have appealed to both the non-Porsche buyers that were going to take the first step into Porsche for the first time and the real Porsche aficionados.
They should have gone for the same size or smaller and enrich the interior!
But then to each his own....almost a 996 mistake. IMO!

Great wheels HRE!
Agreed ECB^
Porsche diehards seem to resist change more than most. Guess what- it's all inevidable. Electro Steering, faster, lighter, stronger, and shiftable automatics that will adapt to your every mood. It's called the future- try going with the flow- it's actually not that bad. If not... have fun fixing your jelopy while others burn rubber circles around you, clicking through paddle shifting gears, and cranking the boosted steering into full lock and load.

The shift from 993 to 996 was obviously significant, but many of the criticisms - ugliness, poor build quality, etc. - were able to be rectified with the 997, which was not a clean sheet design, but an extensive reworking of the prior generation. The basic 991 architecture will probably be retained for a similar period of time (~15 years), and I don't believe the criticisms that the car faces from purists can or will be fixed.
