Are you sure? It is seldom that Porsche "faclift" an existing model range - they reserve the visual changes for the new models
Well the 996 got facelifted remember. They did away w/ the Boxster headlights.
Well - they had to.. People stopped buying the 911 I heard...
LOL no surprise.

Who want to be associated with that...?

Anyway the changes are not shocking to say the least! Good thing they perform

that new headlight styling looks weird :/ i prefer the single xenon light a lot more
otherwise i like the front bumper (dunno about the weird color scheme around the LEDs)

new taillights are kinda weird, but the more aggressive front bumper is definitely appreciated

I didn't like it. I think this version now is better looking.

headlights kind of reminds me the new upcoming 2+2 porker. tail lights are too Cayman/new beetle-ish - they're getting become more high than wide

If this were a poll, you could add my vote to "Liked the old one better" (and by old I mean the 930 turbo.)

Voted 996 on the poll, but having a comparison look at the 996 and 997 i think the 997 is slightly better looking.

the looks of the 993 were simply perfect... the 997 is obviously the better car, and it looks so much better than the 996, but it doesn't match the 993's character of looks...

Are we voting on purely outside looks? Or are we considering all around car, minus the performance numbers?

993's the best looking series. As for the facelift, the sagging taillamps from the Cayenne are just weird. They look sad.
