Nice. That porsche body (911) has been around for over 40 years, right? I really lik the 996 lights over the 997 since the 997 headlights look like 1970's. :thumbsdown:
yes, the 997 is a bit of a step back in terms of design imo

Acutally I like the 996 design more than 997, too. I am thinking to buy an used 996 for my weekend car.

they can never make everyone happy. I read a magazine talked about the reason changing the 997 back to the old look is because many Porsche lovers complained about the 996 head lights looks like Boxers, and they prefer the triditional looks.

Regarding the headlights...
Here's another vote for the 996 lights. As it is, I prefer the look of the Cayman's headlights over the 997's.

I prefer the 996 and Cayman lights more than the 997s but I do LOVE the 997tt body all around more than the 996tt. So only if they used the 996tt headlights and the 997tt body then it'll be a WOWOWOWOOWOW car for me.
