@jemyd

something completely different would make it not a 911. They've done completely different with the Cayenne and Panamera, why mess with the mga successful 911 formula?

Boring Boring Flat 6 Porsche

Utterly predictable as usual, purchased by engineering obsessed middle aged men with no imagination. For style, flair and passion look no further than a Ferrari.........Daytona excepted!

New 911

Let's face it, you either like 911s or you don't.

911s are for people of taste and discernment, who appreciate fine engineering, constant evolution of an already great product, design that is never out of date, a car that starts when you want it and doesn't go wrong, the best sports car in the world.

For the rest of you, there are Ferraris

Porsche? Taste and Discernment?

Oh yeah thats something you hear about the Germans a lot isnt it!! DONT THINK SO!

For those who are predicatable, a little bland and havent changed their haircut since the 1970's theres the 911, for those who like excitement and variation in life there is Ferarri.

The more things change...

...the more they remain the same. The following headline has been used several times every winter since the birth of the Porsche 356 and of its child the 911: Man Digs Porsche Out Of Ditch.

Buy the Jaguar and stay on the road.

What a great advert "New Porsche Crashed on Test" ha ha.

boring yes but..........

I think there's a very simple message here which is:

if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Ok, yes, it looks much like any 911 that has gone before it aside from some subtle design tweaks and each time upping the power output from the engines, the 3.6 flat 6 being one of the best engines available in the world and always has been. I'm never likely to own even a used 911, much less a Ferrari but Ferraris are much too ostentatious for my liking anyway. they may be beautiful cars, I'm not disputing that fact, but they are for those who want to shout their status from the rooftops which makes them ostentatious as well. A 911 is still a status symbol yes, but it's much more subtle. It would be a 911 over a Ferrari for me any day but there are probably some who would call ME boring, including I suspect most of the respondents here.

@ subbyrsauz

Yes you are wright. The coundnt even get the Cayenne and Panamera wright ,to me the Cayenne is a jacked up 911.The panameraaaaa!!! dosent no what it is.

Sorry Im falling asleep.

Serious question...

Forgetting for a moment whether you like the 911 or not, if this one drove past you on the street, would you give it a second glance?

Porsche obviously think you won't, hence why they haven't bothered to disguise it. It's time to drop the 911 from the range and start afresh...

By sgtgrash on 1 March, 2011, 1:31am

what changes

as its been mentioned above, the 911 remains the same in terms of styling. I dont even know why they bothered disguising it, nobody would have told the difference.

yes its an icon, but yes it also needs to be redesigned from time to time!
