All the new Porsches look the same to me (same as in bland cookie cutter mass produced look, not sexy super car from back in the day)

Umm, that's kinda the point

The original 911 went close to 30 years without in MAJOR styling updates

Are u sure this is a new model? Looks pretty much standard current 911 to me....

Ohh, I have confirmation that this is the new model. Also, read that forum thread. The lights are going back to the straight up rounded look from the 993 series (good move IMHO).

Also, check out the quad exhausts in the rear.

Bottom line is, this IS the new 911.

Yeah now I see its just tape around the lights and yeah they are round again - I like that better too. But still it looks more like a face lift than a new model to me. Ahhh anyway it will never be a real 911 again, just listen to them - since they switched to water cooling

This seems to be more a refresh than a new model. The biggest difference appears to be the front air-dams. Looks like they ripped them straight off the Cayenne.

IMO, the tear-drop headlights looks better than the bug-eyed look of the 993.
