I would die to have a 911 right now. I wonder how old the youngest person on AutoSpies with a Porsche 911 is? A 911 that they bought themselves of course, none of this hand me downs or daddy's gifts.

LEDs on the bumpers is a nice touch. Thanks to Audi for popularizing them. Love the ones on 911 Turbo but these on refreshed 911 doesn't look as good.

I have always like the 911 since I was like 12 years old. But it always cracks me up when we see news on it, like new looks and all... Come on, how much do you think Porsche will ever change the looks? But as for this face lift, the LED's is a nice touch. Seems Porsche is dipping into Audi's ideas bin now that they own a stake in it all.

To the people complaining the 911 rarely changes aesthetically, you're right. But when you're at the top of the game that's all it takes.

I really can't believe the amount of 911 haters on here. Some of you people don't deserve to call yourselves "car enthusiasts."

The reason why it looks the similar because it is a "facelift". It is just a minor change. It uses the same 997 unit body... so it's not like it will be totally different from the 997 MKI. What's the big deal?

The 997 is still the prettiest 911 since the 964!

I'd say since the 993.

993 is a but-her-face IMO. Fantastic hips and bum but awful eyes.

The Best Gets Better, maybe the 09 will be mine...

Finally, options I have been waiting for. Heated steering wheel is like a blessing here in Canada - I hate driving with gloves :P. Wow Porsche just keeps raising the bar - Targa4S baby !!

Now, it looks even more like the Boxster from the front. The 993 is a much better balanced design.
