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.
Don't forget the new engine too, EBMCS03. It'll but the M6 to shame. :'(

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.

Acutally I like the 996 design more than 997, too. I am thinking to buy an used 996 for my weekend car.
While you may prefer the looks of the 996, all of the reviews I have read say the 997 is a big leap over the 996 in terms of dynamics. IMHO, the 996 was pretty ugly, especially the interior - the interior in the 997 is very nice with much nicer materials.

Haha honestly... I think I just like the 996 lights more... everything else I like the 997 more. I just dont like the tridditional circle lights. Too borring I think.
