Wink Porsche regrets...

...that due to being out on the lash every night last week at the Paris Motor Show that there has not been a new variant of the 911 announced for at least a whole week!

Sorry!

And I think the 996 headlights were in fact designed when they were on the lash at the Paris Motor Show in 1996

I've got to agree, I think the 996 is the worst looking Porsche ever. But it was in the same period that a lot of manufacturers produced weak cars..... i.e the MK4 Golf.

The original unmolested 996 shape in Carrera 2 format is not unpleasant, but it didn't take well to the turbo wide body kit etc. Also, it's also probably at a point in its life where its neither current, or a classic. The Speedster is ugly compared to the 964 Speedster, which is saying something as I'm not a 964 fan. 993 in ice blue or 997.2 in white for me.
